Question:28 Mr. M. Brennan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the number of applications under the control of farmyard pollution scheme; and the number of payments under this scheme. [1860/96]
Vol. 460 No. 6
28 Mr. M. Brennan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the number of applications under the control of farmyard pollution scheme; and the number of payments under this scheme. [1860/96]
71 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the progress, if any, that has been made to date in eliminating the backlog of applications under the control of farmyard pollution scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1852/96]
248 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the number of applications by county received to date in respect of the control of farmyard pollution scheme; the number of approvals issued; and the number of conditional approvals issued. [1982/96]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 28, 71 and 248 together.
As Deputies will be aware, the scheme had been heavily subscribed and underfunded when I took office. I succeeded in drawing up a revised scheme to deal with that difficult situation. I advised the House previously of the procedures which I put in place last September to deal with the balance of the applications. Under this procedure applications are dealt with on a monthly basis.
