An application under the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 10 May 2016. On this application he declared 8.60 hectares of forestry for which he receives forestry premium and which is also eligible under the Basic Payment Scheme. He also declared 11.91 hectares of permanent pasture and 0.31 hectares within the forestry which, following examination by my Department, is deemed to be ESB corridors.
