The person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas scheme application on 15 May 2014. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Remote Sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue. The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection was completed and the outcome resulted in no monetary reductions being applied to the payments due under these schemes. Payments under the 2014 Single Payment Scheme and the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme issued to nominated bank account of the person named on 9 December 2014 and 9 January 2015, respectively.

An application under the 2012 Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) from the person named was received in my Department on 27^thNovember 2012. On 27 ^thMay 2013, a letter issued to the person named informing him that his application for the scheme was not successful and also setting out the reasons why the application was not successful. There is no payment due to the person named under the AEOS Scheme.
