An application under the 2015 Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme was received from the person named on 6 May 2015. Processing of the application has recently been finalised and payment will issue shortly, directly to the nominated bank account of the person named. My Department received a Transfer of Entitlement Allocation Right and Reference Value application from the above named. This application has been processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue in the coming days.

An application under the 2015 Young Farmers Scheme was also received from the person named. Processing of these applications is underway which involves administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application. These checks are required under EU Regulations. In cases where additional information is required, my Department will correspond directly with the applicant concerned. When all checks have been completed and processing of applications has been finalised, the Department will correspond directly with each applicant to advise them of the outcome of their application. Payments to successful applicants under the Young Farmers Scheme will commence early in December 2015.
