Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 January 2021
241. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when outstanding GLAS payments will be made to a farmer (details supplied) in County Galway; if the delay in payments is as a result of a problem with his Department’s IT system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1942/21]
View answerThe person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1st October 2015 and has received all payments in respect of scheme years 2015 - 2018.
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 relation to the commonage action which has delayed the processing of GLAS payments for this case. Department officials are currently working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible so that outstanding payments can be processed.
GLAS payments are continuing on a weekly basis as applications pass all validation checks.
