Amharc ar fhreagraA review of the land declared by the person named under the Single Payment Scheme revealed that three of the land parcels declared on his application contained ineligible features. The applicant has sought a review of the decision, which is currently being processed. In order to clarify the position regarding the area of the ineligible feature this case will be the subject of a ground verification check on one of the parcels. My Department will be in direct contact with the person named regarding the outcome of this review as soon as the verification check is carried out. If the applicant is not satisfied with the outcome of the review he can appeal his case to the Independent LPIS Appeals Committee.
