582. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding area aid and single farm payment in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49068/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named submitted a Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application on 30 April 2013. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on-farm inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a ground eligibility/cross compliance inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results are now being finalised with the intention of issuing any payment due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will shortly be in contact with the person named.
