Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 January 2014
697. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 487 of 17 December 2013, when payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1695/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 November 2010 and full payments have issued in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Scheme years.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. The checking process in respect of the 2013 Scheme year is currently being finalised by my Department and I expect AEOS payment to issue shortly to the person named.
