I propose to take Questions Nos. 742 and 743 together.
1,771 participants in County Cavan have received a 2017 payment with 101 cases continuing to be processed. For County Monaghan 1,010 have received a 2017 payment with 48 cases continuing to be processed.
In some of these cases, the payment is delayed due to the applicant failing to meet his or her obligations under the scheme. I would encourage all applicants to ensure that any outstanding issues are resolved in order to allow the Department to make the payment.
Payments continue to issue on a weekly basis as cases are cleared.
