Vol. 506 No. 6

Written Answers. - Installation Aid Scheme.

Willie Penrose

Ceist:

55 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if additional staff dealing with applications for the installation aid scheme will be provided in his Department's offices in the midlands to deal with the backlog and avoid the delays being experienced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16063/99]

My Department continuously examines the deployment of its staff resources so as to ensure the best possible service to farmers and other clients.

A competition for the recruitment of assistant agricultural inspectors in my Department is at present being conducted by the Civil Service Commission. When the results of this are available my Department will again review its priorities and consider deployment of staff throughout the country.
