An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 13 May 2010. Payments under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme have commenced nationally on 18 October 2010. The person named submitted an application with 26 land parcels, 4 of which required re-digitisation. My Department has now completed this re-digitisation process and the final balancing payment under the Single Payment Scheme was issued on 10 January 2011. The REPS application has passed the crosschecks between REPS and the Single Farm Payment Scheme and will be processed as soon as possible.

REPS 4 is a measure under the current 2007-13 Rural Development Programme and accordingly is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments can issue. Queries have arisen during the administrative checks on the plan of the person named which have required further examination. Officials in my Department are currently examining this file and will shortly be in contact with the person named.
