The Single Payment Scheme entitlements granted to the herdowner were calculated on the basis of his Livestock Premia payments during the 2000 to 2002 reference period. An alternative reference period of 1997 to 1999 could be availed of in certain circumstances, e.g. acceptable force majeure. However, no application was received from the herdowner to have his case assessed and, if successful, to the use of the alternative reference period to calculate his Single Payment. The time period for the receipt of applications under this measure ended in 2004. The person named was granted 30.90 entitlements, with a unit value of €32.05. While the person named was fully paid under both the 2005 and 2006 Single Payment Schemes, he subsequently transferred the entitlements to a third party and, therefore, no payment was due to him under the 2007 Scheme.

My Department has no record of a REPS application from the person named.
