Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 November 2006
141 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason for the delay in issuing a single farm payment to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; the steps required to address the problem; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40914/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named has been contacted by the Single Payment Unit of my Department and asked to supply documentation in relation to rental agreements and entitlement to commonage lands declared by him on his Single Payment application. My Department cannot process the application any further until a reply is received from the person named.
142 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo has not received their REP scheme payment on the additional land they purchased in 2005 in view of the fact that they submitted all the necessary paperwork of this land as soon as it was possible to do so; and when they will be granted payment on this land. [40922/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named submitted an amended plan with the extra land included. It was submitted late, but in any case it would not have been acceptable because the extra land was more than 2 hectares and therefore a new plan, and not an amended plan, would have been required. Although the extra land is not eligible for payment in the absence of a new plan, the person named has received full payment on the land included in his original plan.
