Amharc ar fhreagraThe following is the position regarding the applications under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme for the years mentioned:
- Payment under the 2008 Scheme issued to the registered herdowner on 30 September 2008.
- Payment under the 2009 Scheme was delayed due to issues regarding one of the land parcel declared. However, these have since been resolved, with payment due to issue shortly.
- No payment is due under the 2011 Scheme as the holding did not satisfy the scheme minimum stocking density requirements for the calendar year in question.
- With regard to the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, the holding was only recently confirmed as having satisfied the minimum stocking density requirements; payment is due to issue shortly.
