Of those who have not yet received payment 19 are entitled to second year payments for over 6 months and 77 for over three months.
Of the 19, six have yet to lodge a valid application and the remainder are being checked for compliance. Of the 77, 50 have yet to lodge a valid application and the remainder are being checked for compliance.
305 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be paid her REP scheme premium in view of the fact that she urgently needs such funding. [22526/96]
The person concerned has applied for her first year payment under the REP scheme. Under the REP scheme a random 5 per cent prepayment check is carried out. This check is a detailed assessment of all aspects of the plan and includes an on farm inspection.
The applicant has been selected for this check, which will be carried out in the near future. In the event of a satisfactory outcome payment will issue as soon as possible thereafter.
