Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 October 2010
509 Deputy John Perry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if it is possible for a person (details supplied) in County Sligo to have a parcel of land included in their REPS 4 plan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37715/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned submitted a REPS 4 application in July 2009. The REPS contract was given a start date of 1 January 2010 and is currently being processed for payment together with all other 2010 applications. As the REPS 4 scheme is now closed, an extra parcel cannot be included or claimed on the plan. It is open to a participant, however, to submit an amended application including an extra parcel without claiming payment on same.
510 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Galway will receive their area based payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37899/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Area Scheme was received from the person named on the 13 May 2010. This application was selected for and was the subject of a ground eligibility inspection. While all of the cases selected for ground eligibility inspection have now been inspected and a high level of payment has been achieved under the scheme, processing of a small number of inspection results, including those of the person named, remain to be completed, following which payment should issue shortly thereafter.
