Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 October 2012
200. Deputy Heather Humphreys asked the Minister for Agriculture; Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan will receive their disadvantaged area payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42427/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhile an application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 2 May 2012, payment has not issued as the conditions of the Scheme have not been satisfied, at this stage.
The Terms and Conditions governing the Scheme require, inter alia, that all equine premises must be registered with the Department in accordance with S.I No 8 of 2012 (Disease of Animals Act 1996 (Registration of Horse Premises) Order 2012). As the premises concerned are not registered, payment could not be made. Once this requirement of the Scheme has been met, the application of the person named will be further processed with a view to payment.
