There were 7,950 applications under the Single Payment Scheme in Donegal of which 7,497 have already received payment. There are 453 cases still to be paid. All unpaid cases are currently being progressed as quickly as possible with a view to payment as soon as all the requirements under the Single Payment Scheme have been met.

The person named submitted a Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application on 8 May 2013. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on-farm inspections, be completed before any payments issue. The application of the person named was selected for a ground eligibility/cross compliance inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results are now being finalised with the intention of issuing any payment due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will shortly be in contact with the person named.
