I have received a a text message from Agfood to say there is a dual claim on one of my land parcels. What exactly does this mean?

Someone has claimed on the same parcel of land as you. Some info here

Mostly it's just a mistake on a boundary where one claim encroaches into another, but there are cases where someone is really acting the brat.
A neighbour was badly beaten up over a dual claim here a few years ago and apparently he was the rightful claimant .
Whether he was or not, violence wasn't the way to solve it

I was working with someone recently who got entitlements for land they had never claimed for before. 2Ha which came with their house.

Turns out their neighbor had been claiming on their land all along, I’d suspect there will be some uncomfortable conversations coming. It’s not a huge bit of land but still.

I had this happen a few years ago. Satellite mapping revealed an inconsistency in a boundary line, and I was sent a form to renounce my claim to the plot of land. ( other lad had already been paid that year)
The area was in a bog, and smaller than a badminton court, yet it held up payments for months.
(Officer dealing with it went on holidays in the middle if the process, then the other lads Planner got ill before he forwarded some vital form. Total cluster-fuch)

Thank you all.The plot in question is my own ground it borders my own land and the road.I presume the sat has re measured it disagreeing with my figures.
Teagasc advisor is on a day off so no help.

Ya turns out someone else has claimed on my plot
How can this happen with online applications and why do I have to tidy up the mess

It could be greed or it could be a genuine mistake

Well, the Dept wouldn't know who actually has the right to claim on that parcel of ground so both would have to show that they are within their rights to claim on that parcel of ground.


Now it could be as simple as writing in the wrong parcel number on the plot and easily sorted once the other claimant withdraws their claim on that plot. Or misreading the map to claim a bounding field.


Once you send in whatever the Dept wants by way of confirming the plot is yours, you'll have no problem or delays, hopefully.
