The person named commenced REPS 4 in December 2007 and received payments for the first five years of their contract. REPS 4 is a measure under the current 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. These checks have now been completed in this case and the 75% Year 6 payment amounting to €7,048.35 issued for payment on the 25th April 2013. The remaining 25% Year 6 balancing payment will issue shortly.
