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 issued in the last week of January to those whose applications required no correction following the administrative checks. Further payments continue to be made as applications are cleared.

Queries have arisen during the administrative checks on the plan of the person named and it is currently under further examination.

The person named took over the farm with effect from 7 May 2008. The application for the Suckler Welfare Scheme, which was received in my Department on 11 January 2008, was made in the name of his father. Both parties have now signed a Form of Undertaking and this will allow payment to be made. It is expected that payment will issue shortly.
