The 2014 Supplementary Measure 10 (Mixed Grazing) payment due to the person named was paid in 2 amounts earlier this year. The 75% payment in the amount of €382.81 was paid on 25 January 2016, while the balancing 25% payment in the amount of €127.60 was paid on 3 February 2016. The basic 2014 REPS4 payment due to the person named was made in March 2015. Penalties were imposed in relation to this payment which meant that the payment was reduced significantly. The Department is conducting a full review of the penalties imposed in this case and will be in contact with the person named once the review has been completed.
