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. During the SPS cross-checks in 2013 an issue arose in relation to the re-digitization of land parcels contained in the REPS Agri-environmental plan of the person named which required further investigation. This issue has now been resolved and the 2014 75% REPS payment will issue shortly, the remaining 25% balancing payment will issue thereafter.
