67. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when an agri-environment option scheme payment will be granted in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4030/15]

The person named was approved for participation in the 2012 Agri Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) with effect from 1 May 2013 and payment has issued in respect of the 2013 Scheme year.

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. This process is under way in respect of the 2014 Scheme year and I expect 75% payment for 2014 to issue shortly. The balancing 25% payment will follow in due course.

Ceadaíodh rannpháirteacht an duine ainmnithe sa Scéim um Roghanna Comhshaol Talmhaíochta 2011 (AEOS 2) le héifeacht ón 1ú Meán Fómhair 2011 agus eisíodh íocaíocht iomlán i ndáil leis na blianta Scéime 2011, 2012 agus 2013.

Faoi Rialacháin an AE a rialálann an Scéim sin agus scéimeanna íocaíochta limistéir-bhunaithe eile, ní mór seiceálacha cuimsitheacha riaracháin, lena n-áirítear tras-seiceáil leis an gCóras Aitheanta Dáileachtaí Talún a dhéanamh, sular féidir aon íocaíocht a eisiúint.  Tá na seiceálacha sin tugtha chun críche go rathúil i ndáil leis an mbliain Scéime 2014 agus eisíodh 75% den íocaíocht iomlán chuig an duine ainmnithe an 12 Nollaig 2014.  Bheinn ag súil go n-íocfaí an 25% atá fanta go luath.
