An application under the 2005 single payment scheme was received from the person named on 13 May 2005. The person named also submitted an application for the transfer of entitlements by way of private contract clause, lease, under the 2005 scheme. As my Department has processed this application and transferred the entitlements to the applicant, payment will issue to him shortly.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 220 and 221 together.
The position is that some 17,500 farmers submitted applications to the national reserve but when account is taken of the number of farmers who applied under two or more categories over 23,000 files have to be processed.
The following table sets out the number of farmers per county who applied under the national reserve, including those who applied under more that one category and the number accepted and rejected under the first tranche of allocations. Processing of applications is continuing and allocations will be made where appropriate over the coming weeks.
