242. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 232 of 14 December 2016, in which it is stated that a review of documentation is occurring, if he will provide an update in this regard. [14322/17]

An application under the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 13 May 2016. As I indicated in my reply to the previous PQ mentioned the person named had submitted additional documentation in respect of a dual claimed parcel. This documentation has been reviewed by my officials.

I can confirm that this review is complete, and the original decision on the dual claimed land remains unaltered. As the person named has not farmed the lands in question, it cannot be included as part of his 2016 application which has now been fully processed with respect to the remaining parcels.
