My Department has no record of receiving an application under the consolidation measure of the 2010 or 2011 Single Payment Scheme from the person named. The closing date for receipt of applications under this measure of the 2010 Single Payment Scheme was the 17th May 2010 and the closing date under the 2011 Scheme was 16th May 2011.

Question 290: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13500/11]

The person named has been approved into the AEOS scheme with a start date of 1 September 2010. Under the EU Regulations governing the Agri-Environment Options Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. I expect that payments to participants in the scheme in respect of 2010 will commence in August and that payments in respect of 2011 for AEOS1 participants will commence in October.
