The first person named was granted full REPS payments following a decision of the Agriculture Appeals Office on 27 June 2014 regarding a dispute whether a valid REPS application was submitted to the Department or not. Full payments were then made on foot of this decision which covered the period 1 June 2008 to the 31 December 2013. Payments in this case commenced on 27 November 2014 with the final payment being made on 28 January 2015.
The second person named had a REPS plan which commenced on 1 June 2008 and was paid for the full 5 years and 7 months of the contract. His contract ended on 31 December 2013.
All REPS payments due to both persons named have been made in full.
