175 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will receive payment of the outstanding balance of a 2010 REP scheme 4 application; if he will arrange for prompt payment of 2011 REPscheme 4 and disadvantaged area payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38211/11]
View answerAn application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 27 April 2011.
This application was selected for and was the subject of a Ground Eligibility/Cross Compliance Inspection. This inspection was completed and the results are now being processed.
In the vast majority of inspected cases, including this case, amendments have had to be made to the maps in order that the Land Parcel Identification System that is used for making payments to farmers is kept up-to-date. This work is ongoing and every effort is being made to complete the processing of those who were the subject of a Ground Eligibility Inspection. Insofar as REPS is concerned, the person named commenced in the scheme in June 2008 and received payment for the first two years of the contract. In addition, 75% of the year 3 payment for 2010 issued on 7th April 2011 for the amount of €6724.28 and the remaining 25% balancing payment will be paid shortly.
Finally, my Department has now completed the necessary administration checks, including plan checks, on all REPS 4 applications and the 2011 payments will commence in the next few days.
