Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2018
501. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when an ANC payment will issue to a person (details supplied); if this will be issued as soon as possible in view of the circumstances; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43439/18]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2018 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Schemes application on the 20th April 2018. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases remote sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection is currently being processed with the intention of issuing any payments due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.
