Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
233. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when he will issue payment to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick under the disadvantaged areas scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5336/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application under the 2015 Areas of Natural Constraints (ANC) Scheme was received from the person named on 26 May 2015. Under the 2015 ANC Scheme, eligible applicants are required to have met a minimum stocking density of 0.15 livestock units for a retention period of seven consecutive months and to maintain an annual average of 0.15 livestock units calculated over the twelve months of the scheme year. Payment under the ANC scheme has not issued in this case as the holding concerned has not satisfied the scheme’s minimum stocking density requirements.
The person named has been notified of this outcome in writing and advised of their right to seek a review of the decision within ninety days by the Agriculture Appeals Office.
