910. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will expedite an agri-environment option scheme payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13860/14]

The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) with effect from 1 May 2013.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. These checks are well under way and I anticipate that payments for AEOS 3 in respect of 2013 will commence shortly.
