An application under the Single Payment Scheme / Disadvantaged Areas Schemes was received from the person named on 1 May 2007. The 50% Advance Payment, which amounted to €2,343.36, was paid to the applicant on 30 October. My Department will commence balancing payments to all eligible applicants on 1 December 2007 as provided for in the relevant EU Regulations.

Payments under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme commenced on 20 September, with payments issuing in respect of those cases cleared for payment at that stage. Payments continue to issue as further cases subsequently become clear. The application of the person named has now been fully processed and the DAS payment (€4,456.75) will issue shortly.
