My Department’s records indicate that the most recent payment issued to the person named was on 25 May 2005 under the 2004 Extensification Scheme. Payments in respect of the Special Beef Premium Scheme and the Slaughter Premium Scheme issued between 16 October 2003 and 4 April 2005.

The person named did not establish entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme and was an unsuccessful applicant under the National Reserve Scheme in 2005. The land is not classified as ‘Disadvantaged’ under the Terms and Conditions of the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme. Furthermore the person named is not an applicant under the Rural Environment Protection Scheme or the Agri Environmental Options Scheme.

An official of my Department has been in direct contact with the person named and has explained the position to him.
