By way of transfer on 5 May 2006 the applicant received 16.64 Single Payment entitlements without land by inheritance (gift). These entitlements would appear to have been established under the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 1792/2003 on the land claimed by the applicant to draw down his payments from 2006 onwards.

The applicant originally submitted a claim on the commonage in Kilgalligan for 1/19 share. The outcome of the Court proceedings was that he was only entitled to claim 1/38 share of this commonage. In addition, some other ineligible areas have been excluded from the area declared for both the commonage parcel and the owned land parcels declared by the applicant. His total reference area at present equates to 9.86 hectares. The position will be examined with a view to establishing whether the number of his entitlements can be adjusted and my Department will be in direct contact with the applicant when this process is completed.
