VBA Error 1004: PasteSpecial method of range class failed - vba

Question

I'm having a bit of trouble with any kind of paste method I use at the moment.
Data from one sheet must be cut and pasted to another, but I'm not sure what I'm missing.
The error occurs here, shortly after the commented "HERE" :
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Full code can be found below, thanks for any replies.

As has been noted, you really ought to rewrite this, but as a quick fix, add a range variable:
Dim rgCut as Excel.Range
then instead of this:
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Cut
use:
set rgCut = ActiveCell.EntireRow
and then replace this:
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
with this:
rgCut.Cut Destination:=Selection.Cells(1)
