Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture and Fisheries Councils and Report on Promoting Sustainable Rural Coastal and Island Communities: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (10 Jun 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister mentioned the reopening of the compensation scheme for people who lost pots during the storms in January. Does the Minister have an indication as to whether the take up on the revised scheme is any larger? Is he willing to reconsider the requirement to have a receipt for the original lobster pot, which was not required for the shrimp pot and in my view was the major inhibitor...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture and Fisheries Councils and Report on Promoting Sustainable Rural Coastal and Island Communities: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (10 Jun 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I seek clarification. First, the Minister seems to be saying that unlike AEOS, under the new GLAS scheme, payments will issue 75% on commencement in the scheme. Can he confirm whether that is true?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture and Fisheries Councils and Report on Promoting Sustainable Rural Coastal and Island Communities: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (10 Jun 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: In REPS, in the old days, one got cash upfront when one joined the scheme. AEOS was introduced and one could only get 75% of the payment after the first year following checks at the end of the year and so on. The exact terminology was used in the parliamentary reply to me. It seemed to indicate to me that one would not get a GLAS payment until one had completed year 1 and they had done the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture and Fisheries Councils and Report on Promoting Sustainable Rural Coastal and Island Communities: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (10 Jun 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is he saying that we will revert back to the old system, that he supplied, where one was paid on acceptance to the scheme having passed the checks rather than after the first year as in the AEOS system? That is what was hinted at in the parliamentary reply to my question. All we are looking for is a clear answer. Are we getting paid cash upfront? If so, that would be great news and I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture and Fisheries Councils and Report on Promoting Sustainable Rural Coastal and Island Communities: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (10 Jun 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mid-2015.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture and Fisheries Councils and Report on Promoting Sustainable Rural Coastal and Island Communities: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (10 Jun 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That seems to be a major change from AEOS. With AEOS one had to wait until after the first year was over and the final checks were done. It was only then one received 75% which was followed by a 25% payment. The Minister seems to be giving us good news, and great clarification for everybody, regarding the new GLAS scheme. Once one joins the scheme - say mid-year 2015 - that before one...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture and Fisheries Councils and Report on Promoting Sustainable Rural Coastal and Island Communities: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (10 Jun 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We are talking about scheme years, not calendar years. In other words, if Éamon Ó Cuív is allowed into GLAS, and approved on 1 August 2015, will he get 75% in August 2015 or does he have to wait until he has completed one year in the scheme, as he must do so for AEOS at present, in order to get the first 75% payment? That is my simple question.
