Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 July 2017
357. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a decision has been made on a review of an AEOS final year contract payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33554/17]
View answerThe final year of the AEOS 2 contract of the person named was due to end at the end of 2016. However, the herdowner applied for GLAS and was accepted into that scheme with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016, therefore, replacing the AEOS contract.
The person named subsequently withdrew from the GLAS contract at a late stage.
Following a review, and in light of the particular set of unique circumstances of this case, a decision has been made to allow the AEOS contract to run to its full term. Payment of monies relating to the AEOS 2016 scheme year will be issued to the person named shortly.
