The former ground limestone subsidy was phased out some time ago so that the funds involved could be put to more effective use in other ways for the benefit of farmers. Any question of reintroducing the subsidy would have to be considered in the general context of the Government's budgetary decisions and the overall availability of funds for expenditure in relation to agriculture.
