1333. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of GLAS payment for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38156/17]
View answerThe person named submitted a GLAS 2 application and following the initial checks the Wild Bird Cover action did not meet the minimum area requirement resulting in the application not being approved as the minimum score of 16.3 was not achieved on the remaining actions.
The person named appealed this decision to the Agricultural Appeals Office and the appeal was allowed.
Department officials are actively working to progress the application on the online system and carrying out the necessary checks with a view to approving the person named into the scheme.
