I presume the Deputy is referring to the installation aid scheme, which provides a grant to farmers under the age of 35 establishing themselves for the first time in farming. By virtue of the terms of the scheme, the initial application, IAS 1, must be submitted to the Department within six months of the date of establishment. The application for payment, IAS 2, must then be submitted within 30 months of the date of establishment. Penalties apply where applications are received outside the two deadlines concerned. Where errors are found in either of the application forms, applicants are given a fixed period in which to correct the errors and resubmit the forms to my Department.

The person named submitted an application for consideration in respect of the inheritance measure of the single payment scheme. Following processing of his application, he was notified that the application was successful and payment will issue shortly.
