The person named commenced REPS 4 in February 2009 and received payment for the first two 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 the person named received 75% of his payment, totalling €5,864.79 on 30th December 2011. The 25% balancing payment for €1,954.92 was made to him on 6th January 2012.
