Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2006
429 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if she will intervene on behalf of a person (details supplied) in County Sligo to ensure that their single payment application is processed and their entitlements granted; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42755/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe position is that an application for the Transfer of Entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme to the person named was submitted on 15 May 2006.
This application has now been fully processed and payment in respect of 5.60 entitlements transferred by way of lease will issue shortly.
430 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if legal direction has been given in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Carlow; if payment will be made to the person in view of the hardship they are now experiencing; and if she will expedite a positive response. [42781/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application under the 2006 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 24 April 2006. Following initial processing, it was found that three of the land parcels claimed by the person named had also been declared by another applicant under the 2006 Single Payment Scheme. These, and other lands, were apparently the subject of legal proceedings between the person named and other parties.
My Department is currently examining the ruling of the Circuit Court in this matter and will correspond directly with the person named regarding the Single Payment implications of this judgment.
