Written answers

An application for compensation under the raised bog cessation of turf cutting compensation scheme was received by my Department from the individual referred to in the Deputy’s Question.

The 2020 annual payment under the scheme was issued to this individual on 27 May 2020.

I have been informed that an official of my Department has been in contact with the individual to advise of the current position.
