Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2020
823. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a 2020 basic payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35302/20]
View answerThe person named submitted an application under the 2020 Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) on 8 April 2020.
As part of the standard checks undertaken on such applications, an overclaim has been identified on a commonage parcel declared by the person named. My Department has been in correspondence with the person's agent in relation to this matter, and is also undertaking a review of the eligibility of the commonage land as requested by person's agent.
In the meantime, arrangements have now been made to issue payment on this case as the overclaim in question will not impact on the total payment due.
Question No. 824 answered with Question No. 815.
