Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 June 2015
112. Deputy John O'Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive an area aid payment for 2013 and 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24245/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named was one of a number of applicants under the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, whose cases are impacted by the requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare in 2011 and who applied for and was refused for derogation in this regard. The person named was notified of the outcome in writing and advised of the option to appeal to the Agricultural Appeals Committee should they so wish. To date no appeal has been received from the person named. I have, however, arranged for an official from my Department to contact the person named directly to clarify the matter.
