The person named commenced REPS 4 in May 2009 and received payments for the first year of their contract. In addition, 75% of the year 2 payment issued on 14th April 2011 for the amount of €6322.61 and the remaining 25% balancing payment of €2107.52 issued on 7th November 2011. The administration checks in respect of 2011 payments are currently being carried out and I expect that payments in respect of 2011 will commence later this month.

An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 15th May 2011. This application was selected for and was the subject of a Ground Eligibility/Cross Compliance Inspection. This inspection was completed and the results are now being processed.

In the vast majority of inspected cases, including this case, amendments have had to be made to the maps in order that the Land Parcel Identification System that is used for making payments to farmers is kept up-to-date. This work is ongoing and every effort is being made to complete the processing of those who were the subject of a Ground Eligibility Inspection without undue delay.
