An application for compensation under the cessation of turf cutting compensation scheme has been received by my Department from the individual referred to in the Deputy’s Question. I am advised that a payment of €1,500 in respect of Year 1 of 15 (2011), a payment of €1,500 in respect of Year 2 of 15 (2012), a payment of €1,518 in respect of Year 3 of 15 (2013) have been made to this applicant. I understand that officials in my Department have been in contact with the applicant during the last week and have informed him that the payment in respect of Year 4 of 15 (2014) has been approved and that this payment of €1,521 will be made to him shortly. In addition, a once-off payment of €500 has been made to the applicant in respect of the signing of a legal agreement under this scheme with me, as Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
