250. Deputy Áine Collins asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a payment to a person (details supplied) in County Cork under the single payment scheme. [2213/16]

The person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department in respect of the lease of land and entitlements. All details relating to land parcel details for 2013 and 2015 and Single Payment entitlement values for 2014 had to be reconciled in order to process this application. This application has been processed but a land parcel discrepancy has delayed the issue of payment. This issue is being resolved by my Department and payment will issue to the person named as soon as possible.
