Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 April 2022
942. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when ANC payments for 2020 and 2021 in respect of a commonage will issue to a farmer (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18196/22]
View answerThe above named applicant applied on a commonage in the townland of Dunloe Upper in Co. Kerry. The lands in question have been under query for a number of years due to issues with regards to the grazing rights on the commonage lands.
Notwithstanding the above, payments have recently issued to the applicant on the lands in question.
However, the Department will, during the course of 2022, complete a full review of all evidence submitted to support claims of grazing rights on all commonages in the townland to ensure clarity for both claimants and their agricultural advisors in the coming years. Where necessary, officials from my Department will be in contact with individual claimants seeking further information.
