A total of 5674 Farmers have received AEOS payments in respect of the 2016 Scheme year. 228 Farmers have successfully passed the administrative checks and payments to these farmers will issue shortly. These are detailed below by county, in tabular form.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place. As all AEOS 2 participants will be receiving their final payments under the scheme,  re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before final payment can be processed. Officials are working through the remainder of these files and payment will be made in all cases as soon as possible.
