Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 February 2014
642. Deputy Heather Humphreys asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) will receive a rural environment protection scheme payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8197/14]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in June 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 payments can issue. These checks have now been completed and the 75% Year 6 payment has been authorised and will issue to the person named within the next week. The remaining 25% balancing payment will issue shortly afterwards.
