The person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2008 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. Following the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) Review an area discrepancy was identified which required further investigation. This issue has been resolved and the Year 6 payments are being progressed with a view to making payment at the earliest possible opportunity.

The verification visit in question will be conducted shortly by a Departmental Inspector. The necessity for this visit follows the appeal of the person named against the findings of the review of the land parcels declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme, which revealed that one of the land parcels declared the person named contained ineligible features. As the person named disputes the area of ineligible land, a visit by a Department official to verify the position on the ground is necessary to resolve the matter.
