Amharc ar fhreagraUnder 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, there are two criteria to be satisfied in relation to equines. Firstly, the holding itself must meet the definition of an Equine Breeding Enterprise and secondly, horses, in order to be taken into account for stocking density purposes, must be aged one to five years and, where older, must be a breeding mare for the purposes of the Scheme. The person named was not due any payment under the 2012 Scheme as he did not meet its requirements in this regard. The applicant was informed of the position by letter dated 20 March 2013.
