406. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will address a matter regarding unpaid farm payments in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53117/17]
View answerThe 30% balancing payment under the 2017 Basic Payment Scheme is due to issue to the person named very shortly.
The person named had 0.35 unused payment entitlements under the 2015 and 2016 Basic Payment Scheme years which are now due to revert to the National Reserve because they are unused. A letter has issued to the person named in the past week to inform him of this non-usage and to provide him with an opportunity to appeal this decision to the Department within 14 days if he wishes to do so.
