Ceist:

1251. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will confirm the status of farm payments in the name of a person (details supplied); if there are payments due to the herd owner; if there are restrictions on the herd owner relative to animal welfare issues that disqualify them from farming; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I can confirm that the named applicant is up to date with BPS Payments (the 2022 BPS Balance Payment issued on 01 December 2022) and GLAS Payments (2022 GLAS Balance Payment issued on 19 May 2023); The matter raised by the Deputy is under investigation, and therefore I cannot comment.
