Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2013
548. Deputy Tom Hayes asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a forestry premium payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22751/13]
View answerThe applicant’s second instalment of the establishment grant must be paid before his annual premium payments can continue. However, the claim for the second instalment highlighted a slight error in the grant payment categories (GPCs) originally submitted in the applicant’s claim for the first instalment of the establishment grant. The Forest Service has been in contact with the applicant’s forester regarding the matter and, consequently, it has corrected the GPCs for future payments. On this basis, it is expected that the applicant’s second instalment establishment grant and his 2013 annual forestry premium will be paid within the next two weeks.
