Ceist:331 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo has not received an area based payment. [2135/02]
As stated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 100 of 7 November 2001, the person named furnished an incomplete 2001 area aid application in that he did not include maps for two new parcels of land on which he is claiming area aid.
The herdowner was contacted in order to clarify the precise location of these particular parcels of land and a response was received. This information is now being entered on to the Department's electronic database. When the area aid application has been fully processed and found in order payment due under the 2001 area-based compensatory allowance scheme will issue.
