Statute Law Revision Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have had a particular interest in this process which a Fianna Fáil-led government began 13 years so. Quite a considerable amount of work has already been done in this area but it is very tedious. I hope this Government will keep up the momentum to eliminate all pre-independence legislation from our Statute Book so that we are totally governed by laws brought in since independence. I...

Other Questions: Agriculture Schemes Payments (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have always taken a very different view where clearly there are misunderstandings and inadvertent mistakes made by people. I think we are over-strict on those. It would appear to me from what the Minister has said, in respect of 400 applicants in regard to some planting issue, that a high number of people have been involved in that type of error because I presume that not all that...

Other Questions: Agriculture Schemes Payments (14 May 2015)

Other Questions: Dairy Sector (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This question is about the superlevy. The Minister might let us know the extent of the superlevy fine imposed on Ireland. Farmers are very anxious to know when the so-called three year scheme for repayment will be put in place. How will it operate? Has the door been absolutely closed to amelioration in respect of the outrageous superlevy being imposed on this country at the point of...

Other Questions: Dairy Sector (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am glad that we are getting some clarification on the issue. Bearing in mind the raising of the debt and the question of liability, would it be possible for the milk purchaser to take the money in 12 equal instalments between this year and next year and forward-pay part of the debt by 1 October to the Department? In other words, the purchasers, particularly if they are co-operatives,...

Other Questions: Dairy Sector (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Let me outline what seems sensible to me. I accept that some people, particularly those who do not have a big superlevy bill, will pay in full, but it depends on cash flow. Young farmers, for example, might be under pressure. People's circumstances vary. What I am saying is that if purchasers and producers wanted it, they could say they would take the money in 36 equal instalments,...

[18460/15]

Other Questions: Agriculture Schemes Payments (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: A large number of queries are being received now that payments are due under both the REPS and AEOS. The Minister might give us an update on how many farmers have been paid, how many remain to be paid and when we hope to have clarity on all REPS and AEOS payments for 2014 which will be paid in 2015.

Other Questions: Agriculture Schemes Payments (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It probably relates to trees. The Minister can take it that this question has been raised by me with him. He might provide further clarification on that issue. Does he agree that it is vital that all outstanding cases are resolved? I hear what he is saying about outstanding documentation which obviously has to be submitted, but we need to finalise this issue because farmers are waiting...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Land Parcel Identification System (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can the Minister tell me how much was clawed back from farmers as a result of the LPIS review for the five years, 2008 to 2012, inclusive? It is actually up to 2013. In other words, how much money was overpaid? Has the Minister any idea how soon this matter will come to a close? My understanding, in simple English, is that this fine or financial correction - call it what one wishes -...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Land Parcel Identification System (14 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister send me the figures of how much he will through this process have sought to reclaim from farmers and then give me some estimate of the outstanding cases that still have not been resolved because it is important that we understand that? In measuring what Europe is claiming to do, it gives us an understanding of the measure of how much this was a finicky exercise, which in...
