Amharc ar fhreagraThis person named was the subject of a Satellite inspection in 2010 which resulted in the imposition of a sanction of between 3% and 20% arising from a over-declaration of eligible land on the land parcel declared by the applicant. As a result the person named submitted an application in 2011 which reflected the determined area in 2010. In response to Parliamentary Question 32674/11 on 3rd November, I confirmed that the person named was entitled to lodge an appeal in relation to the results of the 2010 Satellite Inspection.
The applicant submitted an appeal, which led to the need to carry out a ground inspection, which took place in mid December 2011. Following this inspection, the eligible area was increased from 14.57 hectares to 19.27 hectares. The advisor of the person named was informed of the outcome by letter on 20 February 2012. On 8th March 2012 a supplementary payment of €597.56 was made to the person named. There has been no further communication on behalf of this applicant in the interim.
