Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Challenges within the Organic Farming Sector: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Padraic Finnegan:

Yes. He awaits an organic payment. He is one of the people who joined the scheme late enough. We are concerned about the fact that the inspection took place so late in the year. If it has to be done then it has to be done. Everything was right yet that man, at the end of January, has still not been paid for last year due to the very fact he had an inspection in the middle of December. Late inspections should not happen.
