View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in February 2009 and received payments for the first three 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 for 2012 payments have now been completed and the 75% year 4 payment amounting to €3180.92 issued for payment on 18th April 2013. The remaining 25% balancing payment amounting to €1136.04 issued for payment on 1st May 2013.
