The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1January 2016.

The first payment due to the person named is in respect of the 2016 scheme year.  During the 2016 prepayment checks an issue was identified with the Farmland Habitat, Private Natura action that requires further examination.  Department officials are actively working to resolve this issue with a view to further processing the application for payment at the earliest opportunity.
