185. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding payments to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7682/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis case involves a double transfer of entitlements. As the first step in the double transfer the person named submitted a Transfer of Entitlements Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department seeking the transfer of allocation rights and values by Change of Registration Details of Herd Number to a Farm Partnership as transferor. This application was processed, following which the allocation rights and values are now held by the person named and another person under the Partnership number.
As the second step the person named submitted a Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of allocation right with sale/lease of land to a third party. The PCC form submitted was signed by the person named only. As the allocation rights and values are now held by the person named and another person under the Farm Partnership it was necessary to have the PCC application form returned to have it signed by both persons on the herd number. This form has been returned to my Department duly signed by both persons. The Private Contract Clause application can now be fully processed to facilitate the discharge of the Basic payment to the person named in respect of his remaining entitlements as soon as possible.
