The person named commenced REPS 4 in 2009 and has received full payments for the first year of their contract.

In addition, 75% of the second year payment issued on 10th March 2011 for the amount of €3222.38. My Department is currently making arrangements to process the outstanding 25% payments to farmers in instances where penalties have been imposed, including the person named, and I now expect that these outstanding payments will commence later this month.
