Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named does not currently hold any Single Payment entitlements. He submitted an application for an allocation of entitlements from the 2005 National Reserve under category B.
Category B of the 2005 National Reserve catered for farmers, who made an investment between 1 January 2000 and 19 October 2003, in production capacity in a farming sector for which a direct payment under Livestock Premia and/or Arable Aid schemes would have been payable during the reference period 2000 — 2002. Investments included the purchase or long-term lease of land, purchase of suckler and/or ewe quota or other investments such as buildings.
The application was in respect of the purchase of land and other investments. The person named did not submit sufficient information to enable the processing of his application despite a number of requests for the required information. His application was therefore rejected and he was notified of this decision on 20 April 2006.
