1166. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a 2020 GLAS payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22232/21]
View answerThe person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1st January 2016 and has received all payments in respect of scheme years 2016 - 2019.
Administrative checks involving several 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 dual claim of land parcels which has delayed the processing of GLAS payments for this contract. 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.
