The person named commenced REPS 4 in January 2010 and received payments for the first two 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. This process has now been completed for the applicant’s 2012 payment which has been authorised for payment. The 75% and 25% payments will issue in the near future. Once the 2012 payment has issued, processing will immediately begin in relation to the 2013 payment.
