1217. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the nature of the information technology problem is that is causing the delay in a Green, Low-Carbon, Agri-Environment Scheme, GLAS, payment to a person (details supplied); when the issue will be resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1352/18]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy was approved into GLAS 3 with a contract commencement date of January 1st 2017.
All GLAS claims must clear validation checks before payment can be made. Department officials are working proactively to complete the checks to minimise delays to payments. Once this case clears the validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are issuing on a weekly basis.
