Question 360: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he has received an application for single payment entitlements from a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath; the extent of the entitlements; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18210/05]

As the person named did not lodge applications under the relevant livestock and arable schemes during the reference years 2000, 2001, 2002, no entitlements under the single payment scheme were established.

Some 142,000 applications for the single payment scheme were received by my Department by the closing date of 16 May 2005. While processing of applications has commenced, it is not possible at this early stage to detail the position of any individual case. However, it should be noted that where entitlements have not been established, the submission of a single payment scheme application will not, in itself, result in a payment being made under the scheme.
