The person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2009 and has received payment of €4,721.68 in February 2010 for his first year part payment, and €8094.30 for the full second year in May 2011.
REPS 4 is a measure under the current 2007-13 Rural Development Programme and is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments can issue. An on farm inspection was carried on 16th November 2011. In order to finalise the inspection, the person named was requested to complete record sheets. The record sheets were requested on three occasions, the latest being on the 4th April 2012. The record sheets were received in the Department at the end of April and the file is now being further processed in the local office. I expect this examination to be finalised shortly and, assuming that no further queries arise, that payment will issue in the near future.
