REPS 4 is a measure under the current Rural Development Programme 2007–13 and is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before the first payments issue. The first payments for 2008 REPS 4 applications will issue this week to those whose applications require no correction following the administrative checks. However queries have arisen during the administrative checks on a significant number of REPS 4 applications and these are under examination. Further payments will continue to be made as applications are cleared.

The application under the 2008 Single Payment Scheme submitted by the person named included a commonage parcel. My Department is currently examining the usage of this entire commonage, as the claims submitted by applicants in respect of this commonage under the Single Payment Scheme exceed the area of the commonage that is eligible for payment. My Department will make direct contact with the applicant on completion of this review.
