The person named commenced REPS 4 in May 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. These administrative checks have revealed that there is an overdeclaration on parcels listed on the REPS application of the person named. My Department is investigating the issue with a view to an early resolution and payment in respect of 2011.
