Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2018
437. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason payments under the basic payment scheme and GLAS for a person (details supplied) have not been issued; his plans to ensure that the issues are dealt with in order to allow payment to proceed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2880/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application in respect of the 2017 Basic Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 3 May 2017. Advance payment issued to the person named on 16th October. Processing of this application is now complete and the balancing payment has issued to the nominated bank account of the person named.
The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received all payments in respect of 2015 and 2016.
Each GLAS claim must clear all validation checks before the 2017 advance payment can be made. Department officials are working proactively to complete the checks required in this case. Once this case clears the validations, the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are issuing on a weekly basis.
