Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2011
444 Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if an application for the transfer of entitlements has been processed in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26160/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named became the registered owner of her late mother's herd number on 8 January 2010. However she did not submit an application to transfer the Single Payment entitlements held by her late mother and consequently no payment has issued on these entitlements.
The closing date for receipt of completed applications to transfer entitlements was the 17 May 2010. However due to the force majeure circumstances outlined, an official from my Department recently made contact with the person named, outlining the position. It is understood that an application to transfer entitlements together with testamentary documentation will now be forwarded to my Department.
The application will be processed as soon as it is received.
