Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2012
531. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reasons that persons (details supplied) in County Kerry have not received his REP scheme payments for the past two years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44650/12]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2008 and received payments for the first four 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. This process is under way for 2012 REPS 4 applications and I expect that payments will commence shortly. In the event that any issues arise on the file of the person named, officials in my Department will be in direct contact with the person named.
