The person named submitted an application for an allocation of entitlements from the single payment scheme national reserve under category B which caters for farmers who, between 1 January 2000 and 19 October 2003, made an investment in production capacity in a farming sector for which a direct payment under livestock premia and-or arable aid schemes would have been payable during the reference period 2000-2002. Investments can include purchase or long-term lease of land, purchase of suckler and-or ewe quota or other investments.

A formal letter setting out my Department's decision has issued recently to the person named. However, should she be dissatisfied with my Department's decision in relation to the national reserve she has the opportunity to appeal this decision to the Independent Appeals Committee, Government Buildings, Old Abbeyleix Road, Portlaoise, County Laois. An appeals application form is available from any of my Department's offices or on the Department website at www.agriculture.gov.ie.
