Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 February 2014
172. Deputy John O'Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 575 of 4 February 2014, when payment will issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7083/14]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in May 2008 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 payment can issue. Following the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) Review an area discrepancy was identified which had resulted in the necessity for further clarification. This issue has now been resolved and the 75% Year 6 payment has been confirmed for payment. It is expected that this payment will issue in the next week. The remaining 25% balancing payment will issue shortly.
