The person named applied to the 2007 National Reserve under Category C which caters for farmers for whom at least 40% of their Single Payment was derived from direct payments associated with sheep production (Ewe Premium/Rural World Premium) during the reference period, the existing Single Payment is less than €6,000 and individual payment entitlements are less than the District Electoral Division average value. Allocations to successful applicants have commenced this week and will continue over the coming weeks. Payments will follow shortly after allocations have been made. A formal letter outlining my Department's decision will issue to the person named as soon as his application has been processed. Applicants who are dissatisfied with my Department's decision on their application may appeal that decision to the Single Payment Independent Appeals Committee.
