The person named commenced REPS 4 in May 2009 and received payments for the first five years of their contract.

REPS 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. In addition, an on-farm compliance inspection took place in November 2014 which is currently being finalised.

It is anticipated that the 2014 payment will issue shortly.
