The applicant was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1st September 2010 and full payment totalling €662.82 issued in respect of 2010. Payment in respect of the 2011 Scheme year is subject to an administrative checking process which includes verification of capital investment claims through checks on receipts. A claim for reimbursement for non-productive capital investment was received by my Department. There were a number of issues with this claim and the accompanying documentation. My Department has been in contact with the person named a number of times with regard to these queries, however the matter has not been satisfactorily resolved. Upon receipt of a satisfactory response to all the outstanding issues the application will be processed further.
