The person named submitted an application to my Department under the 2016 Young Farmers Scheme. Processing of Young Farmers Scheme applications is being finalised which involves administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted under the Basic Payment Scheme application. These checks are required under EU Regulations and no further action is required from the person named at this time in relation to his application.

When all checks have been completed and processing of applications has been finalised, the Department will correspond directly with the person named to advise him of the outcome of his application.
