An application under the Basic Payment Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 15 March, 2015. As he has not established any entitlements under this Scheme, no payment is due him.

The person named farmed as part of a joint venture under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme. Under the 2014 Single Payment Scheme, a Transfer of Entitlements application was submitted to have the original holding divided into two separate farming entities. As the joint venture established the allocation right in 2013 it was necessary for both parties to submit a Review of Entitlements application form under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme to establish the number of entitlements to be attributed to each of the new farming entities. As this Review form has not been received to date, my Department will make direct contact with the relevant parties concerned with a view to having the entitlements situation rectified as soon as possible and payment issued shortly thereafter.

The person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 7 May 2015.

Two of the persons named farmed separately under the 2013 Scheme. In 2014, the three persons named above entered into a Milk Production Partnership agreement and submitted a 2014 Transfer of Entitlements application to have their entitlements transferred to the above herd number. They subsequently entered into a Registered Farm Partnership under the 2015 Scheme year. The allocation rights attributed to the individual parties under the 2013 Scheme are now being transferred to the Farm Partnership to allow for the number of entitlements to be established for each partner under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme. This process will be completed shortly and payment will issue shortly thereafter.
