The named person applied to sell entitlements in 2023, although a different amount to that stated. Processing of that application has been fully completed and letters have issued to both parties. This was all of the entitlements available to the named person in 2023 and there is no record of a further application to sell entitlements.

The named person also has additional entitlements which are leased out on a long-term lease until 2026. Should they wish to sell some of these in 2024, it will be necessary for them to request an early termination of that lease and apply to transfer the entitlements through AgFood.ie before the closing date of 15 May 2024.

If they require additional information regarding the sale of entitlements they can contact the section directly by email or by calling the helpdesk on and staff from my Department will be happy to assist with their query.
