Question:172 Dr. O'Hanlon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when payment under the rural environment protection scheme will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Cavan. [14361/95]
Written Answers. - Rural Environment Protection Scheme.
Under the rural environment protection scheme (REPS) all applications are subject to checks by the Department prior to or after payment has issued. To satisfy audit requirements a minimum of 5 per cent of all applications must be the subject of a full plan check and farm visit.
The applicant referred to by the Deputy has been selected, at random, for such a check. Following this check, a decision to make or withhold payment will be made. If everything is found to be in order, a payment will issue without delay.
