An application was received on 29 January 2009 requesting the transfer of 32.05 Single Payment Scheme entitlements by way of lease to another farmer under the 2008 scheme year.

The closing date for receipt of applications for the transfer of entitlements for the 2008 scheme year was 15 May 2008. As this application was received several months after this date, the requested transfer was rejected.

The person named may avail of the normal appeal procedures in such cases by submitting an appeal to the Transfer of Entitlements section outlining any extenuating circumstances that may account for the lateness of the application.
