The person named holds 25.38 standard entitlements valued at €12,117. In 2007 he leased a further 33.75 entitlements from his father and received a total payment of €24,016 under the 2007 Single Payment Scheme.

A request was subsequently received by my Department from the lessor and lessee requesting that the lease be terminated at the end of 2007 and this request was granted. In 2008 an application was received from the person named to gift these same entitlements to his father. This was not necessary but did lead to a delay in making payment. The person named now holds entitlements to the value of €12,117 and payment in respect of the 2008 Single Payment Scheme will issue shortly.
