An application under the 2013 Single Farm Payment was received from the person named on 29 April 2013. Having successfully sought approval from the EU Commissioner, advance payments to Irish farmers under the 2013 Scheme are due to commence issuing on 16 October, the first day of the new EU financial year, fully six weeks earlier than would otherwise have been the case. The balancing payments are scheduled to begin issuing as and from 1 December 2013.
