Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The applicant submitted a 2018 BPS application under a partnership number. The partnership was subsequently dissolved. A second BPS application was then submitted by the applicant on behalf of a company. This has resulted in additional administration work in the processing of the BPS application.

The Department is currently in the process of finalising the outstanding administrative work involved and pending completion of final verification checks, payment should issue to the applicant in the coming weeks.
