482. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when all green low-carbon agri-environment scheme, GLAS, payments in respect of 2017 and 2018 will issue to a farmer (details supplied) in County Galway; if a penalty has been applied; and if so, the reason for same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4965/19]
View answerThe person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016 and has received all payments due for 2016.
The participant received a zero net payment for 2017 due to penalties applied resulting from the findings of an on-farm inspection. The applicant was notified of the inspection findings on 28 August 2018.
The 2018 advance payment will issue shortly. GLAS payments continue to issue on a weekly basis.
