In three of the four cases highlighted by the Deputy, processing of the applications under the Areas of Natural Constraints schemes has been finalised and payment has issued. In the fourth case, processing of the Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application is currently in progress. On completion of this process, the application will be further reviewed with a view to payment issuing directly to the nominated bank account of the person named at the earliest possible date.

I have arranged for officials in my Department to write directly to the Deputy with the relevant detail in relation to the individual cases named.
