The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1^st December 2010 and full payment has 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 has now been processed for payment. The balancing 25% payment will issue shortly.
