Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 December 2006
276 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo submitted their application for REP scheme three; the length of time it has been with her Department; and when this person can expect payment. [43321/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis application was received in my Department on 3 October 2006 and is being processed in the normal way. Payment will issue within the agreed period.
277 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food, further to Question No. 442 of 5 December 2006, if she will ensure that officials of her Department make contact with the person in question, as promised, as soon as possible in order to resolve the outstanding issues mentioned; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43329/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person in this case benefited under the New Entrants provision of the Single Payment Scheme, in that his Entitlements were established on the basis of the exclusion of 2000 and 2001. An issue subsequently arose in relation to the incorporation of the sugar compensation into his Single Payment, where it was found that he had been farming during 2001. It is necessary, therefore, to recalculate the Entitlements of the person involved, following which my Department will be in direct contact with the person.
