263. Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to set out the status of single payments for 2015 for a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40082/15]

The person named submitted a 2015 Transfer of Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department. This application sought a change of legal entity from the person named to a Company name. As the person named had not changed his herd number from his own name into the Company name it was not possible to process the change of legal entity application. An official from my Department has been in contact with the person named to discuss his case including the requirement to cancel his transfer application in order to facilitate payment. This process has now been completed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue to the person named shortly. The person named was advised of when payment can be expected.
