An application in respect of the 2009 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 7 May 2009. Processing of the application revealed that a number of the land parcels declared by the person named had also been claimed by other scheme applicants. In keeping with standard processing procedures, all parties were written to and asked to clarify the position regarding their entitlement to claim the parcels in question. In addition, an official of my Department has been in direct contact with the agricultural advisor of the person named, who is working for and on behalf of the person named, with a view to reaching an early resolution of the matter. However, until such time as the person named, or his agricultural advisor, reverts to my Department, it is not possible to indicate precisely what the outcome might be.
