Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 February 2010
615 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of REPS 4 applicants that have been approved in tabular form in counties Mayo, Galway, Sligo and Roscommon; the number of same that have been paid; the number that await payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6099/10]
View answerREPS 4 is a measure under the current Rural Development Programme 2007–13 and is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before the first payments issue. Those applicants in Counties Mayo, Galway, Sligo and Roscommon who cleared the administrative checks have been paid, as detailed below. However queries arose on a significant number of applications, in the course of the administrative checks. My Department is continuing to process applications with a view to payment as soon as possible and, in this context, will be in touch with the applicants where necessary, to resolve outstanding issues.
