Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when an application submitted for a transfer of single payment entitlements under the 2014 scheme by a person (details supplied) in County Galway will be processed; the reason for the delay in this process; if the herd number in this case has been transferred; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe herd number in the name of the first named person was transferred into the name of the second named person on 11th October 2013. My Department received a Transfer of Entitlements application on 27th February 2014 to transfer 6.45 standard entitlements from the first named person to the second named person by way of gift.
Some essential documentation which was required to process the transfer was omitted when the original application form was submitted. My Department contacted both persons named above, requesting that the details omitted on the original application be submitted to the Transfer of Entitlements Section in order to enable the transfer to be processed.
The fully completed application form has now been received in my Department, and the transfer of entitlements has been processed. Acceptance letters were issued to both persons named on 9th October 2014.
