The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1st November 2010 and full payment totalling €480.89 issued earlier this month in respect of 2010.

Under the EU Regulations governing the 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. Payments in respect of the 2011 Scheme year is also subject to verification of capital investments related to approved actions. Following payment for 2010, the processing of the 2011 year payment has commenced with a view to issuing payment at earliest opportunity.
