The person named is an applicant under the 2013 Single Payment and Disadvantaged Area Schemes. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases, land eligibility inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

The application of the person named was selected for a remote sensing inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results are now being finalised. As soon as the inspection and related processes are completed, the application concerned will be progressed. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will shortly be in contact with the person named.
