Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2013
988. Deputy Tom Hayes asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment of REP scheme will issue to a herd owner (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16113/13]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in December 2007 and received payments for the first five 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 successfully completed in this case in respect of the 2012 payment and the final year 75% payment amounting to €6582.53 has issued for payment dated 12 April 2013. The 25% balancing payment will issue shortly.
