Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2014
87. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason an outstanding debt under the 2013 disadvantaged area scheme has been assessed against a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; the way this debt was calculated; if maps and details of this debt were provided to the person; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs you may be aware my Department is currently examining land parcels declared under the Single Payment Scheme and other area-based Direct Payment Schemes. As part of this review an ineligible area was identified and removed from a number of parcels declared by the person named. The person named was notified of this decision and of their right of appeal, to which no appeal has been received to date. The removal of this ineligible feature resulted in an over-declaration penalty of 8.71% being applied to the Disadvantaged Areas application of the person named.
