Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 January 2012
190 Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will investigate the delay in the REP scheme payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4447/12]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in April 2008 and received payments for the first three years of their contract. REPS 4 is a measure under the current 2007-13 Rural Development Programme and is subject to EU Regulation which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments have been finalised. During the course of the administrative check an area discrepancy was discovered between the Single Payment Scheme Application for 2011 and the REPS 4 Agri-Environment Plan of the person named. This issue has now been resolved and I expect payment to issue shortly.
191 Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will review an appeal for single farm payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will examine the appeal in a fair manner. [4470/12]
View answerAn appeal has been received from the person named. My Department's inspectorate is carrying out a review of the results of the Remote Sensing inspection. The person named will be informed in writing of the outcome. I can assure the Deputy that this appeal will be dealt with in accordance with recognised standards of fairness and procedure and that all relevant information will be examined and reviewed.
