Question 159: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food the position regarding an application for the single payment entitlements under the national reserve for a person, details supplied, in County Galway. [21717/05]

The person named submitted an application for an allocation of entitlements from the single payment scheme national reserve under category A, which caters for farmers who inherit, lease or otherwise receive free of charge, or for a nominal consideration, a holding from a farmer who retired or died, as the case maybe, before the closing date for receipt of the single payment application in 2005 and that holding was leased by the previous owner to a third party during the reference period. He was written to on 22 March 2005 seeking clarification on a number of issues with regard to his application. No reply to this correspondence has been received in my Department to date. As soon as a satisfactory response is received, a decision will be taken on his application.
