The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the following table.
| Scheme | Numbers of active applications for Kerry | Number of applications not paid for Kerry | Numbers of active applications nationally | Number of applications not paid nationally |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GLAS 1 | 1,794 | 269 | 25,825 | 4,094 |
| GLAS 2 | 894 | 168 | 11,668 | 2,140 |
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.
Work on processing cases which did not pass the required pre-payment checks, is on-going with a view to effecting payment as quickly as possible.
