The person named submitted an application under the 2005 single payment scheme. As the person named was not an applicant under the livestock and/or arable aid schemes during the reference period 2000-02, no entitlements have been established under the single payment scheme.

The person named also submitted an application for an allocation of entitlements from the national reserve under category D, which caters for farmers who commenced farming after 31 December 2002 or who commenced farming in 2002 but who received no direct payments in respect of that scheme year. The position is that over 23,000 applications for an allocation of entitlements from the national reserve were received when account is taken of farmers who applied under more than one category. Processing of these applications is continuing and the intention is to make allocations to successful applicants early in 2006. The Department will be in touch with individual applicants as soon as their applications are fully processed.
