Question:

457. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a GLAS payment for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4094/19]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016 and has received all payments in respect of scheme year 2016.

In relation to payment for 2017, administrative checks involving a number of sections within the Department take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue.

An issue arose in this case for 2017 in relation to GLAS claims on a LPIS parcel without a reference/MEA area. The applicant has been advised, through the applicant's adviser, to contact the Department's Basic Payment Section directly in relation to this issue.
