510 Deputy John O’Donoghue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Kerry will receive their disadvantaged area and single farm payments. [35986/10]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 509 and 510 together.

An application under the 2010 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 13th May 2010; a separate application under herd number H1570198, which is merged with H2440620, was also received on 13th May 2010.

The application for the person named has now been fully processed and payments due under both the Single Payment Scheme and Disadvantaged Areas Scheme under H1570198 and H2440620 will be paid under the primary herd number H2440620.

The 75% advance payment under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme will issue shortly. Balancing payments under the Scheme are due to commence issuing as and from 20 October.

The 50% advance payments under the Single Payment Scheme will commence issuing on 18 October, with the balancing payments scheduled to commence issuing with effect from 1 December.
