369. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the location of entitlements leased by persons (details supplied); when the lease expired as neither the leasee or original owner of said entitlements are in possession of same at present; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27206/21]
View answerThe person named had eight entitlements leased in from a third party with a lease end date of 31st December 2020. When the lease expired, the entitlements reverted back to the third party. The person named was advised of this by the Department along with the options available to them.
The Department has received an application to renew this lease and transfer the entitlements back to the person named. Transfer of entitlements applications are being processed in the order in which they were received and this application will be processed in due course.
