The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 September 2010 and full payment totalling €578.69 has issued in respect of 2010. Payment in respect of the 2011 Scheme year is subject to a similar administrative checking process. During these checks a query arose in relation to one of the land parcels. This is being dealt with by my Department at present and once this query is resolved, the application will be further processed with a view to making payment at the earliest opportunity.
