The person named commenced REPS 4 in 2009 and has received full payments for the first year of his contract.

In addition, 75% of the second year payment issued on 21st April 2011 for the amount of €4,871.06. An area based discrepancy was discovered following a cross check between the Single Payment Scheme application for 2010 of the person named and the REPS agri-environmental plan. This discrepancy has resulted in the imposition of a penalty and a delay in processing the final 25% payment under REPS 4 for 2010.

My Department is currently making arrangements to process outstanding payments to farmers of the 25% due in respect of 2010 in the cases where penalties were incurred and I expect payments to commence in these cases in October.
