Amharc ar fhreagraThe owners of the above mentioned herd number have applied for the Single/Basic Payment Scheme for all years from 2008 to 2015. On processing of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application, it was identified that a forestry parcel was not eligible for payment as it was claimed as scrub in 2008. On further examination, it has been identified that this parcel was incorrectly paid for Single Payment in 2011, 2012 and 2013. A process of recoupment of these overpayments will now be initiated.
