The person concerned applied to my Department's Castlebar office to become registered as a Herdkeeper and Herdowner in June 2005. The herd was previously registered in the name of the person's mother, who is deceased since 7th March 1997. The person was registered as a herdkeeper on the 8th July 2005 and was advised by letter on the same date that proof of ownership of the lands was required if he wished to register an interest in the herd as herdowner. The required documentation has not yet been received.

The person named has submitted an application requesting consideration in respect of the Inheritance measure of the Single Payment Scheme. The person named was notified on 14 September 2005 and 19 October 2006 that his application could not be processed until he registered as a herdowner. To date he has failed to be registered as a herdowner.
