109. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding a land parcel identification system overclaim 2013 appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; if a field inspection is required to verify that this land is being grazed; and if so, whether the inspection could be arranged as quickly as possible, as this matter is delaying the transfer of the herd number.

A review of land parcels declared under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that a number of land parcels declared by the person named under the Single Payment Scheme contained ineligible areas. The identified areas were removed from the parcels declared by the person named. One of these areas, which was a parcel of common lands located in the townland of Derryhillagh, was determined to be 100% bog. The person named was advised accordingly by letter on 27 November 2013 and requested a review of the decision on 4 April 2014. My Department will arrange to have a field verification visit carried out as soon as possible and the person named will be notified of the outcome in writing in due course.
