The position is that an application for the Transfer of Entitlements under the 2007 Single Payment Scheme by way of gift from the second person named to the first person named was received in my Department on the 26th January 2007.

The closing date for receipt of applications to transfer entitlements in respect of the 2007 Single Payment Scheme year is the 16th April 2007 i.e. closing date for submitting applications under the 2007 Single Payment Scheme. It will not be possible therefore to definitely process all applications for transfer of Entitlements by the 16th April 2007.

I can confirm however that my Department has examined this application and that the transfer of entitlements by way of gift from the second person named to the first person named is in order.
