Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
778. Deputy Ciarán Cannon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a GLAS payment for 2021 will be made to a person (details supplied); the reason it is necessary for this person to make numerous representations to his Department each year before securing their GLAS payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49494/22]
View answerThe person named was approved to GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1st January 2016. Payments issued for scheme years 2016 – 2020 inclusive.
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. Processing of the 2021 Advance Payment for the person named are at an advanced stage and I expect the payment in this case to be finalised shortly.
GLAS payments are continuing on a weekly basis as applications pass all validation checks and are approved for payment.
