171. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a GLAS payment will be made to a farmer (details supplied) and the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25087/23]
View answerThe person named was approved to GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015. GLAS payments have issued to this herd for scheme years 2015 – 2021 inclusive.
An administrative penalty was imposed on the 2022 GLAS Advance payment of the person named. However this penalty has been removed following appeal. A refund of this penalty will issue as part of the 2022 Balance payment. My Department is processing the payment.
GLAS payments are continuing on a weekly basis as applications pass all validation checks and are approved for payment.
