659 Deputy Nicky McFadden asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath may expect to receive their REP scheme payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20486/12]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in November 2009 and received payments for the first two 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. Administrative checks in respect of 2011 payments have now been completed and the 75% Year 3 payment of the person named issued on 19th April 2012 for the amount of €3,597.94. The remaining 25% Year 3 balancing payment of €1,199.31 will issue shortly.
