To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a person (details supplied) in County Galway was notified of an over-claim assessed against them; if details of such an over-claim, including maps, were posted to the person; the details of the over-claim involved and the penalties imposed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A review of the land declared by the person named under the Single Payment Scheme revealed that several of the land parcels declared contained ineligible features resulting in a deduction of 5.84 hectares which resulted in a penalty of €3,575.66.

A letter and a set of maps of the land parcels in question have issued to the person named. However, the applicant has sought a review of the decision and this review is currently being undertaken. The case in question has been sent for a ground verification check to clarify the matter. My Department will be in direct contact with the person named regarding the outcome of the review once this verification check has been completed. If the applicant is not satisfied with the outcome of the review, he can appeal his case to the Independent LPIS Appeals Committee.
