86. Deputy Noel Harrington asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a farm payment for 2015 to a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39748/15]

The person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 7 April 2015. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks be completed before any payments issue. The application of the person named has now been finalised and I expect that payments due will shortly issue to the nominated bank account of the person named.
