Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 November 2012
220. Deputy Noel Harrington asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when rural environmental protection scheme payments will be granted in respect of a person ( details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53521/12]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2008 and has received payments for the first three years of their contract. REPS 4 is a measure under the 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 nearing completion for 2012 REPS 4 applications and I expect that payments will commence shortly.
