Written answers

The person mentioned commenced REPS 4 in December 2007 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 now been completed in respect of the person mentioned and the 75% Year 5 payment amounting to €5797.89 issued for payment on 28th January 2013. The balancing 25% Year 5 payment will also issue shortly.

An application under the Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 12 April 2012; however there is no entitlement to payment under the scheme. The person named is also claiming payment under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme and has not received payment due to insufficient stocking density. The person named had less than the required 0.15 average stocking density for the year.
