Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if NPWS farm plan scheme payments are delayed; if he will provide an update on payment processing timelines; how many participants are awaiting their payment under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6810/24]
View answerThe NPWS Farm Plan Scheme currently has approximately 340 participants. Works is continuing in my Department to verify and process annual payments to 191 participants, in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Scheme.
Staff are working diligently to process payments and it is expected that all valid payments will have been made within weeks.
