Vol. 466 No. 1
209 Mr. Davern asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the current position regarding a REP scheme application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; when payment will be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10751/96]
The person concerned applied for his second year payment under the REP scheme. However, under revised monitoring and control procedures implemented by my Department recently, compliance checks are required to ensure that farmers have completed the specific works outlined during the first year of the plan before second year payments can be made.
These checks commenced recently and it is expected that second year payments will be made at the earliest possible date.
