Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 February 2010
225 Deputy Frank Feighan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the reason REP scheme payment approval has not been forwarded to a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon who has been in scheme since May 2009. [7323/10]
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. Payments have issued to those whose applications required no further examination following the administrative checks. However queries arose on a significant number of applications, including that of the person named, 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.
