Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Delays in Departmental Scheme Payments: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Savage:

It is fundamentally about preparation and anticipation a little further in advance this time compared with previous rounds of CAP reform. I mentioned earlier the typical cycle in CAP reform and how our CAP strategic plan is approved at a particular time, then we have to move on and design the systems but of course we have to deploy the new schemes as well so we end up in a situation where the scheme is rolling out at the same time we are putting the administrative and IT structures in place. Our preference would be to have the IT and administrative structures in place before we start the scheme.
