Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2017
879. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason for the delay in his Department's processing GLAS I payments for persons (details supplied); when payment can be expected; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45675/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe persons named were approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and have received all payments in respect of 2015 and the 2016 advance payment.
A Farm Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) must be submitted on behalf of each GLAS 1 and 2 participant to the dedicated online system before the 15% balancing payment or any future GLAS payment can issue. As this applicant has not submitted his NMP, the 15% balancing payment cannot issue. The applicant should check immediately with his adviser on the progress in submitting the NMP.
