An application under the 2009 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 15 May 2009. Following initial processing, the application was found to be incomplete, which necessitated writing to the person named. The issue was subsequently resolved, which allowed payment due under the scheme to issue on 1 December 2009. Payment under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme had earlier issued directly to the person named on 22 September 2009.

Question 369: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the single farm payment for 2009 has been awarded to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; the amount of area based payment paid to this person and the amount of REPS paid to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

An application under the 2009 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 15 May 2009. The 70% advance payment (€9,435.09) under the Single Payment Scheme issued on 9 October 2009 and the 30% balancing payment (€4,322.17) issued on 1 December 2009. Payment of €2,257.68 under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme issued directly to the person named on 22 September 2009.

The person named has received €38,027.62 in REPS payments to date and has submitted a 2009 REPS 4 payment application. My officials are about to complete the initial administrative processing of REPS 4 and I hope to be in a position to start releasing payments on valid applications later this week.
