161 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason for the delay in issuing the 2011 single farm payment to a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon; if he will expedite the case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24737/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named submitted an application for the 2011 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Schemes on 27 April 2011. The person named is also an applicant under the Agri-Environment Options Scheme. In order to satisfy the requirements of these Schemes, it was necessary to carry out additional validation checks on the application of the person named. On completion of this process, which is currently being prioritised, and provided there are no errors, payments under the Schemes will issue to the applicant. An official in my Department will be in contact directly with the person named to advise him of the situation.
