Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 October 2012
205. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture; Food and the Marine the reason the disadvantaged area payment is being held up in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Galway is being held up; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42446/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 2 May 2012. However, payment has not yet issued as, at this stage, it has not been possible to verify that one of the Terms and Conditions governing the 2012 Scheme, relating to maintaining an annual average of 0.15 livestock units per forage acre declared, has been satisfied. Once it has been possible to verify that this requirement has been met, the case will be further processed with a view to payment at the earliest possible date thereafter.
