Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named has not yet received his Organic Farming Scheme payment as he was subject to a Department inspection in 2016. The Inspection report has now been finalised and I am pleased to say that his application is being processed for payment. I expect this to issue shortly.
