The person named commenced REPS 4 in August 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 Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments can issue in respect of 2011. These checks have now been completed and 75% of the year 4 payment issued to the person named on 2nd February 2012 for the amount of €6,112.79 and the remaining 25% balancing payment issued on 7th February 2012 for the amount of €2,048.03.
