Ceist:51 Mr. Farrelly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a REP scheme payment will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14170/97]
Written Answers - Rural Environment Protection Scheme.
The REP scheme includes provision for random inspections prior to payment. Such an inspection was carried out on the applicant's farm, as he was due his second year payment, and a problem was uncovered as a result. On two occasions since, a revised agri-environmental plan was requested to rectify the problem, but on each occasion the revised plan was found to be deficient. A third revised plan has now been submitted, and will be examined as soon as possible.
