101. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason payment has not issued to a person [details supplied] in County Galway under the basic payment scheme; when will it issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38654/15]

According to records held in my Department the person named changed their herd number for the 2015 Scheme Year from single name to joint names. In order to facilitate payment under the amended herd number it is necessary for the above named to submit an application to transfer the allocation right for entitlements from the single name to the joint names. An official from my Department has been in contact with the person named and the required Transfer form has been issued to him. Once the completed form has been received and processed by my Department payment will issue shortly thereafter.
