The number of Agri-Environment Options Scheme applications received for County Leitrim is 439. Of these 323 applications have been approved and processing of the remaining 116 applications is ongoing. I expect the administrative and validation process to be completed and all outstanding cases to be notified of the outcome of their application before the end of November, with successful applicants receiving a start date of 1st November, 2010.
