Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2017
507. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a 2016 AEOS payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23008/17]
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 AEOS 2 contracts, re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before final payments can be processed. This process is ongoing and payments are issuing in cases cleared for payment on a weekly basis. All outstanding cases will be finalised as soon as possible.
