The person named submitted an application for consideration of an allocation of entitlements under the New Entrant category of the 2010 National Reserve. This category caters for farmers who commenced farming after 15 May 2008. Successful applicants under this category are required to meet certain criteria in relation to income limits and educational qualifications. My Department has now received confirmation from Teagasc that the person named has attained the educational qualifications required.

The person named is now eligible and has been allocated National Reserve entitlements. A letter outlining full details of the allocation has been issued to him and payment will follow shortly.
