Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
1138. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the current situation regarding a 2022 BPS payment (details supplied); and if his Department can issue payment on two outstanding entitlements with regard to this claim. [17592/23]
View answerA 2022 Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) Application in respect of the person named was received on 12 May 2022. The application was processed with an advance payment issuing in October 2022 and the remaining balancing payment due, issuing in December 2022.
Subsequently a request seeking to amend the original application was received on 13th February 2023. The request was to add two additional land parcels to the 2022 Basic Payment Application which were omitted at the time of application.
However, under the Terms and Conditions of the Basic Payment scheme, requests to add land can only be considered up to the closing date for amendments, which was 31st May 2022.
As this request was received outside the allowable time period, unfortunately, it cannot be considered. A letter outlining this decision and the right of appeal has issued to the person named.
