Question 134: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the entitlements of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the person has been granted 10.52 entitlements despite the fact that the provisional entitlements were originally assessed at 25.09; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As advised in reply to previous questions from the Deputy, an application was received on 4 May 2007 requesting the transfer of 10.68 standard entitlements from the second person named to the first person named. While it was necessary to request clarification and additional documentation, the final application, signed by both parties and witnessed by a solicitor, clearly instructed my Department to transfer 10.68 entitlements from the second person named to the first person named.

The land that formed part of this transaction amounted to 10.52 hectares and consequently 10.52 entitlements were transferred with land while the remaining 0.16 of an entitlement was transferred without land. As the first person named declared 10.52 hectares on his Single Payment Scheme application for 2007, he received payment in full on 10.52 entitlements.

My Department has received no instruction from the second person named to transfer any other entitlements to the first person named.
