asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when an installation grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon.
Written Answers. - Installation Grant.
42.
Before eligibility under the scheme of installation aid for young farmers can be determined, a detailed investigation of each application must be carried out. In this case the investigation has not yet been completed. If the applicant is found to be eligible, payment of the premium will be made as soon as practicable and I will inform the Deputy at the appropriate time.
All premia are paid strictly in the order in which eligibility is established. Payments are being phased in such a way as to ensure adherence to the amount provided in the Vote. Consequently, there is some delay in payment of the premia.
