The person named commenced REPS in February 2008 and received payments for the first three years of their contract. 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. These checks have now been completed and 75% of the Year 4 payment issued dated 14th February for the amount of €9,638.77. The 25% balancing payment amounting to €3212.92 will also issue shortly.
