The person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2008 and received payment for the first three years of the contract.

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. Administrative checks in respect of 2011 payments have been finalised and I expect the 75% payment for 2011 to issue to the person named shortly.
