The person named was approved for participation in the 2012 Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) with effect from 1 May 2013. Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, have to be completed before any payment can issue. During these checks a query arose in respect of land parcels declared which required digitisation. The digitisation process was recently completed by my Department and payment will issue as soon as possible once all remaining validations have been successfully completed.

The person named submitted a 2014 Single Payment Scheme application on 14 April 2014. Processing of this application has recently been finalised with payment due to issue shortly, directly to the nominated bank account of the person named.
