646. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will expedite a rural environment protection scheme payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55502/13]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in March 2009 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. This process has now been completed for 2013 payments and the 75% Year 5 payment amounting to €5632.95 issued for payment on 23 December 2013. The remaining 25% balancing payment will issue shortly.
