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. Those applicants in Counties Mayo, Galway, Sligo and Roscommon who cleared the administrative checks have been paid, as detailed below. However queries arose on a significant number of applications, in the course of the administrative checks. My Department is continuing to process applications with a view to payment as soon as possible and, in this context, will be in touch with the applicants where necessary, to resolve outstanding issues.
