The person name has been allocated 43.41 new entitlements under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme at a value of €1,300 including Greening payment. The value of entitlements of approximately €14,500 which was associated with this herd number under the 2013 and 2014 Scheme year could not be allocated to the person named as they were not owned by him in 2014.

My Department issued a letter to the owner of the entitlements and to the person named on the 10 April 2014 informing them that the value of the entitlements would be lost unless particular actions were taken. As no action was taken, the value of these entitlements could not be carried forward into the new Basic Payment Scheme. My Department will make direct contact with the person named to see if there are any options open to him in relation to the lost entitlements.

Full payment has issued to the person named in relation to the new entitlements allocated. He has also received €4,344 on foot of a Private Contract Clause application and €3,200 in relation to his Young Farmer Scheme application.
