Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 February 2015
89. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a payment under the 2014 Rural Environment Protection Scheme will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7449/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2009 and received payments for the first five years of their contract.
REPS 4 is a measure under the 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. During the administrative checks in 2014 an area discrepancy was discovered between the Single Farm Payment application for 2014 and the REPS agri-environmental plan which required further clarification. This issue has now been resolved and the REPS payment for 2014 is now being processed and should issue shortly.
