My Department has carried out a comprehensive review of the eligibility of commonages land declared under the Single Payment Scheme and Disadvantaged Areas Scheme including the commonage referred to. In order to deal with the queries that have been raised in relation to these commonages, I have arranged for the matter to be reviewed by my Department. This review will incorporate a ground inspection to verify the level of eligible land on the commonages in question.
