An application for the Transfer of Entitlements under the 2006 Single Payment Scheme to the first person named was submitted on the 18th April 2006. The application was examined and the position is that the second person named applied to transfer entitlements with land, to the first person named. Since the second person named does not own the land, my Department contacted the parties involved and advised that the entitlements may be transferred by way of gift without land. The persons named have now advised my Department that they wish to proceed on this basis. The application has now been processed and payment will issue shortly.
