287. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment, under the 2014 agri-environment options scheme will issue, in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10444/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named was approved for participation in the 2012 Agri Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3 ) with effect from 1 May 2013.
During the processing of this person’s non-productive capital investment claim an issue arose, which has now been resolved. The claim is now being examined in the context of the various other checks required under the EU Regulations, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, all of which must be completed before any payment can issue. These checks are under way at present with a view to issuing payment as soon as all have been successfully completed.
