Questions— 14 February 2012. Written Answers
pleted before any payments can issue in respect of 2011. These checks have now been completed
and 75% of the year three payment issued to the person named on 9th February 2012
for the amount of €6,657.86. The 25% balancing payment will also issue shortly.
563. Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reasons
for non payment of REP scheme in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make
a statement on the matter. [7634/12]
Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Deputy Simon Coveney): The person named
commenced REPS in February 2009 and received payment for the first two years of their
contract.
REPS 4 is a measure under the current 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.
These checks are currently being finalised out and I expect that payment will issue shortly.
Departmental Staff
564. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine
if he will provide an organisational chart detailing officials and their responsibilities within his
Department. [7732/12]
Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Deputy Simon Coveney): There are currently
almost 3,700 people (3,510 full-time equivalents) employed in my Department. It would not be
feasible to provide the details requested by the Deputy in respect of each staff member.
The organisation chart below details the Divisions within the Department, together with
their various areas of responsibility. It also contains details of all staff at Assistant Principal
(and equivalent) level and above, as currently appointed to these areas.
As the Deputy is aware, the information may be subject to significant change following the
ending of the retirement ‘grace period’ on 29 February 2012.
