121. Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a payment under the single payment scheme will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42101/15]

The person named submitted a 2015 Transfer of Entitlement Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department. Since the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application was submitted to my Department the herd number quoted above was transferred into the name of the person named. In order to facilitate the processing of the transfer application it will be necessary for the person named, in conjunction with the previous herd owner, to complete a Declaration of Undertaking form. An official from my Department has spoken to the person named and has issued the form for completion. Once the completed form has been returned to my Department the application will be processed and payment will issue shortly thereafter.
