The person named submitted a Private Contract Clause application to have entitlements transferred to him by way of a lease agreement under the 2005 Single Payment Scheme. The original Private Contract Clause application requested the transfer of 22.1 entitlements by way of lease, and this was subsequently amended to 12.54 entitlements with the 22.1 hectares leased. This resulted in an overpayment of €3,240.74 to the person named in the Single Farm payment issued to him in December 2005.

Arrangements are in place to transfer the Dairy Premium to the person named. The resulting outstanding payment of €1,740.16, account having been taken of the over-payment to the person named, will issue to him shortly.
