An application under Tranche 1 of GLAS was received in my Department on the 16 May 2015 and the person named was approved into the GLAS 1 with effect from 1 October 2015.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue.

Unfortunately the application of the person named has not successfully complete all required checks. GLAS officials will be in contact with the person named, will review and further process the application on an individual basis and once the outstanding issue is resolved the application will be sent for payment.
