Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 378 to 381, inclusive, together.
Applications under the 2005 Single Payment Scheme were received from the persons named in May 2005.
The persons named declared lands at Glenary on their Single Payment application forms. However, there is an over-claim in relation to these lands involving the applicants and various other parties. As grazing rights on Glenary were the subject of a Land Commission Vesting Order, claimants must have the legal right to claim their grazing share.
Officials of my Department met the persons named together with all the other parties also claiming grazing rights on Glenary with a view to finding a satisfactory agreement. However, no agreement was reached. Since I have no jurisdiction on title to lands, and as there is still an over-claim on the lands declared on their 2005 SPS application forms no further progress can be made in these cases. The applications submitted by the persons named under the 2005 SPS cannot be processed for payment until this matter is resolved. My officials are available at any time to meet the persons named and the other parties involved with a view reaching a satisfactory agreement to resolve the matter.
