Vol. 121 No. 15

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Farm Improvements Scheme.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state the number of applications received under the farm improvements scheme from farmers in County Mayo, the total amount paid out in grants each year under this scheme in the county, and the total amount paid out under the scheme in the State.

As the reply to the Deputy's question is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Chinn Chomhairle, to have it circulated in the Official Report.

The following tables give the particulars required:—
