Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 June 2016
283. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) will receive payments under the basic payment scheme for the past number of years; payments under the areas of natural constraint and disadvantaged areas schemes for 2014 and 2015; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the 2014 Single Payment Scheme (SPS) /Disadvantaged Areas Scheme the closing date for receipt of applications was 15 May. A pre-printed application form issued to the person named on 14 March 2014. However no application was received from the person named, and therefore no payment is due for 2014.
An application under the 2015 BPS /Areas of Natural Constraint (ANC) Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 28 April 2015. Payment under the ANC scheme issued directly to the nominated bank account of the person named in September 2015.
The person named did not have entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme in 2013 or 2014 and applied for entitlements for the 2015 BPS under the Scottish Derogation provision in 2015. He was allocated entitlements and recently received his 2015 BPS payment.
