Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 January 2014
204. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo is under investigation in respect of their REP scheme payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3374/14]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in May 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. Following the administrative check an issue was discovered in relation to an area discrepancy between the Single Farm Payment application for 2013 and the REPS Agri-environmental Plan which had resulted in the need for further clarification. This issue has now been resolved and the payments in respect of 2013 will issue shortly to the person named.
