987. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his views on claims that consistent incompatibility problems within the new computer system in his Department is resulting in delayed or incorrect payments (details supplied). [12047/24]
View answerIn 2023 a wide range of new farm support schemes were introduced under the CAP Strategic Plan (CSP). These schemes are critically important to farmers and to date my Department has paid out approximately €2 billion to over 125,000 farmers.
While no doubt there have been challenges for all parties in rolling out these new schemes, work has been continuing to ensure that all outstanding payments relating to 2023 payments are made. All Divisions within my Department are constantly engaging to ensure that the various schemes work together and where issues are identified these are being resolved.
Where an applicant or advisor has a specific issue with a case I would encourage them to make direct contact with the relevant payment area so that these can be dealt with and payments finalised.
