Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 May 2015
347. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to outline the position regarding outstanding payments under the disadvantaged areas scheme and the single payment scheme in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18232/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantage Areas’ scheme was received from the estate of the person named on 6 May 2014. A transfer of entire holding has recently been finalised and monies due under the Single Farm Payment Scheme will issue shortly.
Payment under the 2013 and 2014 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme have not issued as yet, as the holding concerned has not satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements. I have arranged for an official from my Department to contact the person named directly to discuss the outstanding issues.
