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 accordingly is subject to EU Regulation which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments can issue. These checks have now been completed and the 75% payment in respect of Year 6 has been authorised and will issue within the next ten days. The remaining 25% balancing payment will issue shortly afterwards.
