Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
1532. Deputy Michael D'Arcy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a 2015 BPS payment will issue to a person (details supplied) who has had entitlements transferred to them and land leased; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25117/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease as transferee. The land parcels that were the subject of this transfer application had been declared by a third party on his 2013 Single Payment Scheme application. As a result the transferor held no allocation right on these parcels and the Private Contract Clause application was deemed to be unsuccessful. The person named was notified in writing of this decision and offered the opportunity to seek a review.
The person named subsequently contacted my Department and was advised to submit specific documentation which would assist in resolving his case but to date this documentation has not been submitted. My Department will make direct contact with the person named with a view to resolving this issue.
