The position is that an application for the Transfer of Entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme from the first named person to the second named person was submitted on the 24th April 2006. During processing of the Transfer application, it was necessary for an official of my Department to write to the persons named on the 11th September 2006 to seek clarification on certain matters relating to the application. As the requested information was not received, it was also necessary for an official of my Department to contact the first named person directly to seek further documentation relating to the application. Upon receipt of the documentation my Department will process the application and will correspond directly with the persons named.
