Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
1974. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of beef data and genomics programme payments which are outstanding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34600/18]
View answerPayments have issued to 24,188 of the 24,835 farmers that remain eligible to participate in the BDGP scheme. Payments have not yet been made to 646 participants. These cases are currently being examined with a view to finalisation. In some instances this is because the applicant has requested a change to their scheme requirements such as where the ownership of the herd has been changed. Payments in these cases will issue as soon as they are cleared.
