An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 13 May 2010. The advance of the Single Payment, which issued on 18 October, was based on those land parcels cleared for payment at that stage. While one parcel listed was not paid, as it required digitisation, this process has now been completed and the total declared area of 7.95 hectares has been cleared for payment. The balancing payments under the Single Payment Scheme are scheduled to commence issuing as and from 1 December.

Question:367 Deputy Beverley Flynn asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo has not received their REP scheme 4 payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42594/10]
View answerThe EU Regulations governing REPS 4 and other area-based schemes provide that administrative checks are carried out on all applications, as well as cross-checks against areas declared on Single Payment Scheme applications. The application concerned failed the administrative check and a rejection letter issued to the applicant on 16/04/10.This letter gave the applicant the option of submitting a new Plan by 17/05/10.
A new plan was submitted on 31/05/10 and a further adjusted plan was submitted on 18/06/10.
The local AES is in the process of issuing a letter informing the applicant that plan of 31/05/10 is not acceptable and that it is open to the applicant to appeal the decision.
