Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 January 2015
102. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a REPS payment has not been paid to persons (details supplied) in County Galway; when payment will issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1927/15]
View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in October 2009 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. During the administrative checks an issue was discovered in relation to the inclusion of an additional name to the herd number which required further clarification. This has now been resolved and the 2014 75% payment will issue shortly. The remaining 25% balancing payment will issue thereafter.
