While an application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 2 May 2012, payment has not issued as the conditions of the Scheme have not been satisfied, at this stage.

The Terms and Conditions governing the Scheme require, inter alia , that all equine premises must be registered with the Department in accordance with S.I No 8 of 2012 (Disease of Animals Act 1996 (Registration of Horse Premises) Order 2012). As the premises concerned are not registered, payment could not be made. Once this requirement of the Scheme has been met, the application of the person named will be further processed with a view to payment.

The person concerned is an applicant under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme. Currently, this applicant is one of a number, whose cases are impacted by a requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare and who have applied for a derogation in this regard. This application had not been determined in sufficient time to enable payment with the first tranche on 26 September. However, immediately a decision is reached, the person concerned will be notified in writing. Should the decision be negative, a fully independent appeals procedure is available.

An application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 9 May 2012. As a result of normal verification processes, which form part of the overall controls on the payment system, it had not been possible to include this case with the first tranche of payments made on 26 September. These processes have now been completed and payment will, therefore, issue shortly to the nominated bank account of the person named.
