Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 March 2014
168. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) in County Kerry has not received their rural environmental protection scheme payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11174/14]
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. Following the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) Review an area discrepancy was identified which required further investigation. This issue has been resolved and the Year 6 payments are being progressed with a view to making payment at the earliest possible opportunity.
