Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 February 2017
239. Deputy Michael D'Arcy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a 2015 BPS payment will issue to a person (details supplied) who has had entitlements transferred to them and land leased; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6273/17]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease as transferee. The land parcels that were the subject of this transfer application had been declared by a third party on their 2013 Single Payment Scheme Application. As a result the transferor held no allocation right on these parcels and the Private Contract Clause application was deemed to be unsuccessful. The person named was notified in writing of this decision and was subsequently advised of the documentation to submit in order to resolve the case.
The person named subsequently submitted a separate 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements from the transferor who holds the allocation rights on the parcels that are the subject of the transfer.
An official from my Department has spoken to the transferor to discuss issues in relation to the transfer application. The transferor has also been notified of this matter in writing and my Department is awaiting a reply to this correspondence from the transferor in order to proceed with the Transfer application concerned.
