Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
311. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an application by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry under the disadvantaged areas scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5868/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application under the 2015 Areas of Natural Constraint (ANC) Scheme was received from the person named on 25 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 in addition to the maintenance of 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 annual total requirement.
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.
