Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 November 2018
194. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to ensure that the BPS payment which is due to persons (details supplied) is issued in circumstances in which it is being held; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48615/18]
View answerA change of ownership occurred on the above herd number on 30 May 2018. As the entire holding was transferred between the date of application for the Basic Payment Scheme and the 31 May 2018 the BPS payment cannot issue until a completed Declaration of Undertaking form has been submitted by all parties involved. This form has been sent to the persons named and once the Department receives their response, their application can be progressed without delay.
