530. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the steps he will take to ensure a farmer (details supplied) who has been subject to numerous on-farm inspections such as cross compliance, Bord Bia inspections, remote slurry inspections and so on will have payments due for 2018 issued without further delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The person named submitted a 2018 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Schemes application on the 13th May 2018. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases remote sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection is currently being processed with the intention of issuing any payments due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.
