Amharc ar fhreagraTo allow payments issue under the 2014 Single Payment Scheme (SPS), the processing of claims on the above commonage parcels mentioned for 2014, was prioritised. The reference areas for these commonages have been set as they appeared on the pre-printed 2014 SPS applications circulated to the claimants on these commonages, in March of this year.
These areas are currently under review and my Department will be in contact with the claimants involved concerning any changes to these reference areas.
