Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2017
283. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when an outstanding farm payment will be issued to a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20946/17]
View answerThe person named commenced their AEOS 2 contract on 1 September 2011. Payment issued in respect of the 2011-2015 Scheme years.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place. As 2016 is the final scheme-year of payment for the person-named, re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before final payment can be processed. This work is on-going and payments due for processed files are released on a weekly basis.
