An application under the 2014 Grassland Sheep Scheme was received from the person named on 7 April 2014. Payment has not issued to the person named as the holding concerned has not satisfied the Scheme minimum eligibility requirements namely, the submission of the annual sheep census form prior to the extended closing date of 14 February 2014. The Sheep Census form in respect of the person named was not received by my Department until 3 June 2014 which is outside the deadline fixed under the Scheme.
