Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 December 2014
231. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment of the single farm payment scheme and area aid scheme for 2014 will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47172/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas’ scheme application on 17 April 2014. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Remote Sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. My Department is now finalising this inspection with the intention of issuing any payments due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.
