In February 2009, it was decided to make the remaining payments under the Scheme on a phased basis with 40 per cent being paid in 2009 as claims are approved, a further 40 per cent in 2010 and the final instalment of 20 per cent in early 2011. Of the €190.73 million paid to date this year, payment of the second instalment of 40 per cent accounts for €190.59 million.
In a small number of cases (estimated at less than 1 per cent), no grant payment has yet been approved for applicants under the Scheme (i) as applicants have not yet submitted the necessary tax clearance documentation or have not provided the required documentary proof of payment of the contractors concerned, or (ii) due to technical issues having arisen in relation to the standard of the completed buildings.
