Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2015
175. Deputy Brian Walsh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if an application under the disadvantaged areas scheme will be reviewed in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16424/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application under 2014 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Schemes was received from the person named on 4 May 2014. Payment under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme has not issued as the holding concerned has not satisfied the Scheme’s minimum stocking density requirements. Clarification sought from Horse Sport Ireland has confirmed that the person named first registered the donkeys in question in his ownership on 9 and 19 January 2015 respectively. Therefore, these donkeys are ineligible for consideration under the 2014 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme.
