While an application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 15 May 2012, payment has not issued as the conditions of the Scheme have not been satisfied, at this stage, in regard to inclusion of equines for the purposes of meeting the minimum stocking density requirement.

The Terms and Conditions governing the Scheme require, inter alia, that in order for equines to be eligible, they must be in a registered breeding enterprise and meet certain qualifying criteria. The person concerned has already been advised by my Department of the outstanding matters in regard to stocking density. Once it has been established that this requirement has been satisfied, the application concerned can be further processed with a view to payment.

An application under the Single Payment Scheme /Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 12th April 2012.

In order to comply with EU requirements, the application was one of a number which was selected for inspection. The inspection and related processes have been completed and payments under the Single Payment Scheme and Disadvantaged Area Scheme will issue shortly to the nominated bank account.
