View answerThe person named is also a participant in the Burren Programme, and because of the synergies between the two schemes the processing of his Organic Farming Scheme application could not be progressed until it was clear what his precise eligibility for payment would be in respect of both these schemes. A determination has now been made on this and I am happy to say that a letter of approval and first payment under the Organic Farming Scheme will issue shortly.
