The person named commenced REPS 4 in April 2008 and received payments for the first five years of their contract.

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 has now been completed for the applicant’s 2013 application which has been authorised for payment. The 75% and 25% payments will issue in the near future.
