My Department has written to the representatives of the person named requesting the usual testamentary documents and bank account details and also outlining procedures for the transfer of schemes in which the person named was involved. My Department awaits further instruction on the matter. The representatives of the person named should continue to communicate with the Inheritance Enquiry Unit so as to progress all outstanding issues. Contact details are as follows: Inheritance Enquiry Unit, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Eircom Building, Knockmay Road, Portlaoise.

Correspondence from my Department relating to transfer of the herd number concerned is also outstanding and the case cannot be progressed until these matters have been resolved. As regards the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, unfortunately, stocking density requirements in relation to both 2011 and 2012 were not met in this case and an appeal, in relation to the former year, to the independently chaired DAS Appeals Committee was unsuccessful. Written notification of this outcome issued on 14 March 2013.
