The person named commenced REPS 4 in May 2008 and received payments for the first three years of their 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. The administration checks in respect of 2011 payments have been finalised. During the course of the administrative check, an area discrepancy was discovered between the Single Payment Scheme application for 2011and the REPS 4 Agri-Environmental Plan of the person named. My Department is investigating the issue with a view to an early resolution and payment in respect of 2011.

An application was received on 29 April 2011 requesting the transfer of 34.22 Single Payment entitlements from the joint names of the person named and his late wife to the sole name of the person named.

Following communication from the Transfer of Entitlements section, the testamentary status of the estate of the late wife of the person named was clarified, most recently on 16 November 2011 in a letter from the solicitor administering the estate.

The transfer of entitlements has now been processed and payment will issue as soon as possible.
