There is no record of an application for compensation being received in my Department from this person. I understand from enquiries made by staff in my Department to the Department of Agriculture and Food, that the person named does not qualify for a de-stocking payment from my Department because he is a participant in the Rural Environment Protection Scheme (REPS) for the last number of years. Included in the REPS payment is an element specifically related to compensation for de-stocking sheep.
