I assume the Deputy is referring to the application by the person concerned for grant-aid under the Farm Improvement Scheme. Applications received under that Scheme are being processed by my Department up to the level of funding provided for the Scheme in the 2006 partnership agreement, Towards 2016.

An application was received on 20 April 2007 requesting the transfer of 43.02 standard entitlements from the joint names of the person named and his deceased brother by way of inheritance to the person named. While the person named, as joint owner of the entitlements in question, is automatically entitled to fifty percent, the remaining entitlements form part of the estate of his deceased brother. The person named was asked to forward a copy of the Will of the deceased person, or other testamentary documentation. The person named was also requested to complete essential elements of the Transfer application form that were incomplete. In addition, the person named does not hold a herd number in his own right nor has the existing herd number been transferred into the sole name of the person named. No further communication has been received from the person named in relation to the issues outlined above. It should also be noted that no 2007 Single Payment application was received under this herdnumber for the 2007 scheme year. Therefore, even if the transfer of entitlements is completed under the 2007 Scheme year, no payment may issue to the person named for that Scheme year.
