445. Deputy Lisa Chambers asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) has not received a GLAS payment; the date on which the application was received; if further information was required from the person in order to proceed with the payment; the dates connected with same; when the payment will be processed and issued; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016. All 2016 payments have been paid to the applicant.
Administrative checks take place on all actions on each GLAS claim. All cases must clear these checks before payment can issue. Department officials are working proactively to complete the checks and to issue payments in cleared cases. Once this case clears validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments continue to issue on a weekly basis.
