118 Deputy Patrick O’Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide an update on an agri-environment options scheme application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick. [27662/12]
View answerThe person named has been informed in writing that he was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1st September 2011.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check of all applications, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. This process is under way with a view to commencing payments as soon as possible. In the event of any queries arising from these checks my Department will be in direct contact with the person named.
