My Department is currently examining land parcels declared for the purposes of benefiting from payment under the Single Payment Scheme and other area-based Direct Payment Schemes. As part of this review a number of ineligible features were removed from the parcels declared by the person named. My Department has carried a review of land parcels with exclusions declared by the applicant and has established that the amounts in question should be refunded to the applicant. An official of my Department has contacted the person named directly to explain the situation to him.
