My Department is currently examining issues in relation to the eligibility of some the land declared by the person named for scheme payments. The claim has been subject of a REPS 4 inspection in 2012. It is hoped to complete this examination as soon as possible with a view to determining how to proceed in relation to the application for payment under REPS 4.

REPS 4 is a measure under the 2007-13 Rural Development Programme and is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments can issue. This process is nearing completion for 2012 REPS 4 applications and I expect that payments will commence shortly.
