Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 March 2014
335. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding a REP scheme appeal submitted on 21 October 2013 in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10457/14]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2008 and has received payments for the full six years of their contract.
REPS 4 is a measure under the current Rural Development Programme, 2007-2013, and is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before payments can issue. Following the discontinuation of a Rental Agreement in 2012 a clawback of monies was applied to the REPS Year 6 payment for 2013 which is now the subject of an Appeal. This Appeal is now under review by my Department and a decision will issue to the person named shortly.
