1210. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a Green, Low-Carbon, Agri-Environment Scheme, GLAS, payment for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1295/18]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy was approved into GLAS 3 with a contract commencement date of January 1st 2017.
Administrative checks involving a number of sections within the Department take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue. Department officials are working proactively to complete the checks to minimise delays in payments. Once this case clears validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are being made on a weekly basis.
