198. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment will issue to persons (details supplied) in County Kerry under the basic payment scheme and young farmers' scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5186/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe persons named submitted a Transfer of Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department. An application to the Young Farmers Scheme was also submitted under the second person named. As the herd number above was amended after the date of submission of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application, it was necessary for my Department to seek the submission of a Declaration of Undertaking from the applicants. This form was received, the application was fully processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme issued on 8 March 2016. The application under the Young Farmers Scheme can now be finalised with a view to making payment as soon as possible.
