Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 March 2023
209. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a payment (details supplied), approved under the basic payment scheme will be issued; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10403/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraA 2022 Basic Payment Application was received on 5th May 2022 in respect of the persons named.
Following processing, a number of dual claims were identified. A dual claim arises where more than one applicant claims the same land.
In an attempt to resolve the situation, a number of query letters were issued. The persons named have submitted documentation to substantiate their claim but having corresponded with the other claimants, these claims are disputed and are currently subject to legal proceedings.
In order to expedite the payments, the disputed land has been removed from both applicants and payments will issue on the non-disputed land. My Department has made direct contact with the person named and has explained the situation.
With regard to the application to transfer entitlements, my Department is awaiting documentation to proceed with this.
