656. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Donegal under the AEOS 2012 and 2013 schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19096/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 September 2011 and full entitlements have issued in respect of the 2011 Scheme year.
During a 2012 inspection, the person named was found to have non-compliances in respect of the Species Rich Grassland and Natura Owned actions. A letter issued to the person named notifying them of the inspection findings and setting out the appeal option. As no appeal was received, officials in my Department have processed the application based on the inspection findings and I expect 75% payment in respect of 2012 to issue shortly. The balancing 25% payment will follow on.
Following the issue of payment in respect of the 2012 Scheme year, the application of the person named will be processed in respect of the 2013 Scheme year with the intention of issuing payment as soon as possible.
