Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1st September 2011.
In carrying out the necessary checks required under EU Regulations discrepancies were identified regarding information submitted on the AEOS application form and the farm maps which accompanied the AEOS application. Officials from my Department contacted the Agricultural Advisor of the person named and the response to this query, received on the 20th June 2013, has given rise to two further queries.
