Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2024
575. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) will receive a payment, considering that his application was approved for payment several weeks ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25056/24]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, I introduced the Liming Programme in spring of last year to incentivise the use of lime, a natural soil conditioner which corrects soil acidity, makes nutrients more available for plant uptake, and improves overall soil health.
Administration checks and payments are continuing, with an 85% advance payment being made as claims are cleared. The final balancing payment will issue at a later date after the spreading deadline of Friday 28th June.
Our records show that an advance payment will be made to the person named later this week.
