There is a proposal in the budget to cut reps payment by 10% this is on top of a 17% cut already. We as farmers signed up to this CONTRACT in good faith, we incur costs in reps; planner fees, supplementary measures, etc.

I wonder could we have a case for the European court of justice for breach of contract by the Irish Government, what do you ppl in reps think?

im not a legal expert, but i would imagine if it has to pass eu approval, they must be able to do it, im not doing another thing on reps plan , iv done enough de stocking and stone walls, they can shove there 10% up there **** ,

I agree with ye lads on that.

They have cut payment by 27% so work done should be pro rata.

Why do all the items in the plan and incur the full costs for much less money. We signed up for x amount of work for y amount of money.

In any job, if your money is suddenly cut by 27% after entering a contract, the work done is lessened in proportion.

Anyone know if more of the 75% payments were issued after the inital lot. Spoke with dept in relation to my own is held up but they cant tell me why:mad: Not too hopeful now of receiving it before Xmas would like to know what has been happening all year that these things are left to the last few weeks. I haven't even been written to advising that there is a problem.

I'm afraid that we're in the "They can go and swing for it" group. Can anybody shed light on why 50%+ received theirs and the rest of us can go lump it? The criteria for that is not very public by all accounts.

Anyway it's getting a bit close to Xmas now and as our friends in the Department will now be busy on their Xmas Shopping Days (protected I believe under the Broke Park Deal) and Xmas parties and subsequent 'Duvet Day' - I'd say you'll be lucky to see it this side of St. Patricks Day.
Sure what do you want to be paid for!:D

Latest rumour is that public servants are on a go slow because of their pay cuts. It's criminal the way the budget cuts have hit the poorest of farmers......even the farm assist !!!!!! Neither public servants or social welfare was touched

Hope they never have to work in the private sector where performance counts and not excuses.

And the Christmas bells toll but still no REPS money!

I see that it was queried in the Dail on Tuesday for payments down in County Kerry... http://debates.oireachtas.ie/dail/2011/12/13/00238.asp
(932 have been paid out of 2,117 REPS 4 participants)

Wonder will some participants get their 25% before the rest of us get our first payment:pac:

Bad news lads. The word on the ground is that there is an unofficial strike in the public sector due to the savage pay freeze that they have been experiencing. Expect payment in summer 2012 now. Sure Paddys Day was but a pipe dream.

From mid-management in the Department (cannot reveal source for obvious reasons). Unofficial strike might be the wrong phrase; more like a 'go slow'. Heres the thing though, they were on a 'go slow already' so the hand brake is on fairly tight now.
And people thought that by electing FG/Labour things were going to change. Same omelette, different chef:cool:

red bull

I NEED SOME GOOD NEWS

Dirac98

Up early and balancing payment of REPS 4 in my account overnight. I hope others have the same luck and get the money due to them before Xmas.

I been lucky with my payments but I do badger the f*ck out my local office to see when it will be on the payment run!

Hi theaceofspies,

Just to update on this. Another boards.ie user who we shall call an unnamed source, read this post and sent me a pm to clarify it. There is no go slow or unofficial in johnstown its just the dept has lost 25 percent of staff. It could also lose up to 300 more staff in february.

Reilig, I wasn't talking about Johnstown. The delay is at local office level and yes the old "we are shortstaffed" mantra is the tagline they are hiding behind as some of their colleagues ride off into the sunset on guaranteed pension pots while the rest of us struggle on from day to day.

i would make sense to offer short term contracts to help out for the last 3 months of the year, its seriously annoying to be given dates of payments and then get nothing, this was happening well before this year, its crazy this crack of paying some people twice before paying some people once,

charityboy

got the remaining 25% today happy days cant remember the last time i had all my payments before x mas ,it will take the pressure off for aweek

castletrader

Still nothing here ,rang them 3 times this week.They are some shower of f....rs here in the south east office.

Hill123

No payment here yet either

red bull

same here its getting a bit sh ty now bet you would get a welfare payment on time

reps4

got both payments last night.

great get it finally but they do pull the p*iss choppin and changing dates..

should be a late payment fee or the like! only way to get them do it on time is start applying metrics that are published each month to see is the department actually working or shopping online at work!

red bull

Got both today GREAT
