My Department carried out an examination of land parcels declared under the Single Payment Scheme and other area-based Direct Payment Schemes. As part of this review an ineligible area was identified and removed from a parcel declared by the person named for the scheme year 2009. The person named was notified of this decision and of their right of appeal. Following an appeal from the applicant, my Department has carried out a review of the case and has partly accepted the appeal submitted. The penalty has been reduced down from €954.13 to €183.88. Therefore, the applicant is due a refund of €770.25, which will issue shortly.
