Question:

509. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a person whose entitlements are the subject of a garnishee order can lease and or sell their entitlements in circumstances in which the garnishee order does not specifically state that the entitlements cannot be leased or sold; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

My Department is currently reviewing the position regarding the transfer of payment entitlements arising from a situation where a Garnishee Order is in place against the Transferor under a Transfer of Entitlements application and I will revert to the Deputy on the matter at the earliest opportunity.

The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
