Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The information requested is provided below in tabular form. As of 12 April, 46,835 participants have received a 2017 advance payment. This represents over 98% of all eligible applicants. There will be another payment run this week also.

The majority of the remaining cases are the responsibility of the applicant and the payment is delayed due to the applicant failing to meet his or her obligations under the scheme. I would encourage all applicants to ensure that any outstanding issues are resolved in order to allow the Department to make the payment

Once cases are cleared payment issues without delay and weekly updates are published on my Department's website.
