The person named applied under Category A of the 2006 National Reserve which catered for farmers who inherited land or received land free of charge or for a nominal sum from a farmer who had retired or died by 16 May, 2005 and who had leased out his/her holding to a third party during the reference period 2000 to 2002. The person named was not successful under this category as the land acquired was not received free of charge or for a nominal amount.

My Department's records indicate that the person named has submitted an appeal which has been forwarded to the Independent Single Payments Appeals Committee who will carry out a full review of the case. The Independent Single Payment Appeals Committee will correspond directly with the person named following the outcome of their review.
