Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 January 2013
187. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment under 2012 REP scheme will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; the reasons for the delay in issuing this payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2176/13]
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. These checks have been completed and 2012 payments have commenced. The 75% Year 5 payment issued to the person named on 15th January 2013 for the amount of €2671.76. The balancing 25% payment will issue shortly.
