The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 September 2010 and full payments have issued in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Scheme years.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. The 75% payment in respect of the 2013 Scheme year issued to the person named on 27 November 2013. The remaining 25% payment is outstanding pending resolution of a LPIS review issue. My Department is actively pursuing resolution of this issue and payment will issue as soon as possible.
