I propose to take Questions Nos. 1229 to 1231, inclusive, and 1233 and 1234 together.

These questions relate to the illegal burning of land that was determined by my Department to have taken place during the period 1st March to 31st August 2017.

As outlined in a previous reply to the Deputy, my Department actively investigated incidents of illegal burning as the lands affected are deemed ineligible for the purposes of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS).

The persons named, who were notified by my Department about the burned land parcel(s) in question, have now submitted appeals. These appeals will be examined with a view to an early resolution. Should additional information be required, my Department will contact the persons named directly.

This case relates to the illegal burning of land that was determined by my Department to have taken place during the period 1st March to 31st August 2017. 

As outlined in a previous reply to the Deputy, my Department actively investigated incidents of illegal burning as the lands affected are deemed ineligible for the purposes of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS).

The person named was notified by my Department on 4 December 2017 of the burned land parcels declared on his BPS application and the options available to him including the right to seek a review.  To date the person named has not requested a review in relation to this matter.
