296 Mr. Walsh asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if payment of the single farm payment will be arranged for a person (details supplied) in County Cork. [7440/06]

An application under the 2005 single payment scheme was received from the person named on 13 May 2005. During processing of the application, the area of one of the parcels was found to be less than declared. An official from my Department has been in direct contact with the person named with a view to resolving this matter.
