Willie Penrose

Question:

382 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if a person (details supplied) will be permitted to make an application in his own right for entitlements; if same will be combined with those which this person’s predecessor in title had earned rather than his having to apply under the category of applications for entitlements for new entrants thereby ensuring that they receive the appropriate entitlements applying to the lands; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14593/05]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mary Coughlan)

The person named has been informed that his application for consideration in respect of the new entrant measure of the single payment scheme has been withdrawn at his own request.

The named person can apply to have the entitlements transferred to him by submitting a private contract application form and a copy of the lease agreement providing for the transfer of the entitlements together with his completed single payment application form by 16 May 2005.
