The position is that an application for the Transfer of Entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme to the person named was submitted on 24 April 2006. The application was examined and further documentation is required. The person named was written to and an official from my Department also made direct contact with him requesting the specific documentation. Upon receipt of the documentation my Department will process the application and will correspond directly with the person named.

As indicated in my previous reply to the Deputy on this matter, the records of the animals from the herd number of the person named submitted under the 2001 Suckler Cow Premium Scheme, the 2002 Slaughter Premium Scheme and the 2003 Special Beef Premium Scheme, are being examined with a view to identifying those that may be eligible for payment. Eligibility under these Schemes required, inter alia, that the animals concerned comply with the relevant identification and registration requirements. The person named will be notified in due course, as to what payment, if any, will be due in respect of the Schemes in question.

The person named submitted an application under Category C of the 2005 Single Payment Scheme National Reserve which caters for farmers who sold their milk quota into the Milk Quota Restructuring Scheme and converted their enterprise to 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 to 2002. The person named was deemed successful under this category and was allocated a top-up from the National Reserve. Successful applicants under Category C of the 2005 National Reserve are eligible for a top-up from the 2006 National Reserve to reflect the increased value of the Dairy Premium in 2006. My Department has automatically applied this top-up. The relevant payment due together with the balance in payment for 2006 will issue shortly to the person named.
