556. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will be paid a 2016 organic farming scheme payment; and his views on the fact that the process is taking over a year between inspection and payment. [32248/17]

I can confirm that any issues outstanding in respect of the Organic Farming Scheme payment for the person named have now been addressed. I have been assured that payment will issue shortly.

I appreciate there can be a time gap between inspection and payment however my officials need to examine each of these files individually, looking at all the circumstances where issues need to be reconciled, and then calculating what is due in each case.
