At the outset, I wish to clarify thatthe new Hen Harrier Programme is a locally-led, locally-designed and locally-administered scheme - it is not operated or managed directly by my Department.

Payment will issue in the near future to more than 620 applicants who have already accepted Letters of Offer from the Hen Harrier Project Team. All other applications received are currently being assessed by the Project Team and Letters of Offer will commence again shortly for each of the six SPA designated areas.

The person in question should contact the Hen Harrier Project Team directly with regards to the status of their application.
