921. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a decision been made on the agri-environment options scheme 1 payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14164/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 September 2010 and full payments have issued in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Scheme years.
During a 2013 inspection, the person named was found to have a non-compliance in respect of the Planting of New Hedgerow action. An appeal received from the person named was unsuccessful and the application is now being processed on the basis of the inspection findings and I expect payment in respect of 2013, less penalties due, to issue shortly.
