Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2013
545. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a REP scheme 4 payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22549/13]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in March 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. Following the administrative checks an issue was discovered in relation to Supplementary Measure 10 (Mixed Grazing) which has resulted in the need for further clarification. A letter issued to the person named dated 21 February 2013. As soon as officials in my Department receive a satisfactory response to this letter the application will be processed further with the intention of an early resolution and payment in respect of 2012.
