My officials have examined the applications for the 2009 REPS Scheme received in the Co Cork local offices and have found no record of an application from the person named.

The total number of applications received for 2009 was in the region of 17,000. The precise number will be available when the applications received in each of the local have been entered on the Department's computer system. REPS on-farm inspections are carried out throughout the year and are usually completed in early December.

Of the 12,145 REPS 4 applications lodged in 2007 and 2008, 90.8% have received their 75% payment. Arrangements are being made to ensure that outstanding payments of the first instalment and all payments of the second 25% instalment are made as soon as possible.
