Question 1034: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the position on the payment of REP scheme 4, a 75% portion of which was due to be paid out by the end of September 2009; the number of applications; the number paid to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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, including plan checks, to be completed before the first 2009 payments issue.

The same rule applies both to new applications received in 2009 and to applications for second-year payments from those who joined in 2008. This means that all administrative checks on both have to be completed before any payments can be made to either group. At this stage I envisage that the 75% payments will start to be made in late November or early December. There are 12,145 applications for a second-year payment and 17,023 new applications received up to 15 May 2009.
