Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 March 2018
464. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 399 of 8 March 2018, when a person (details supplied) will receive an organics payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13767/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named is a participant in the Organic Farming Scheme (OFS). Prior to payment all participants are subject to validation checks which must be passed before payment can issue, and this includes ensuring that there is no double-funding of actions between OFS and GLAS. In this case the applicant's 2017 GLAS payment has not been finalised and therefore what is due under his OFS payment cannot be confirmed. My Department is working to resolve this case as quickly as possible.
