An application for compensation under the cessation of turf cutting compensation scheme has been received by my Department from the individual referred to in the Deputy’s Question. I am advised that a payment of €1,500 in respect of the first year was made to this applicant in June 2012. A letter confirming same was sent to the applicant on 11 July 2012. My Department envisages that payments of €1,500 in respect of 2013 will be made in the second quarter of this year.
