Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 November 2021
733. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a green low-carbon agri-environment scheme or GLAS payment for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57082/21]
View answerA key priority for my Department is the efficient issuing of scheme payments to farmers. I am very pleased that GLAS 2021 payments commenced a week ahead of our stated target of mid-November.
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. GLAS payments are continuing to issue on a weekly basis as applications pass validation checks and are approved for payment.
In relation to a greening payment, a satellite inspection is in progress. When this is processed, payment in this case can issue.
