Amharc ar fhreagraFarmers who are active participants in the Rural Environment Protection Scheme on the closing date for AEOS are not eligible to join the scheme in 2011. The closing date for AEOS is 16 May 2011. The person named will not complete their REPS participation until after the closing date for receipt of 2011 AEOS applications and will therefore not meet the eligibility conditions of the scheme for 2011.
