265. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine in view of the fact that the deadline for applications under the green low-carbon agri-environmental scheme is 22 May 2015, if he will guarantee that all applicants who have initiated their application by then will receive their first payments before the end of 2015; and if not, the timeframe for payments over the lifetime of the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Only fully completed applications prepared and submitted on the Department’s online application system on or before the closing date of 22 May 2015 will be considered for approval into the scheme. I have included €20 million for GLAS payments in my Department’s estimates for 2015 and expect to make payments to eligible GLAS participants before the end of the year.
