Question:136 Mr. Noonan (Limerick East) asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a reply will issue to a letter submitted to him by Deputy Noonan (Limerick East) in connection with an application for grants in the case of persons (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and the reason for the delay in replying to same.
No representations have been made to me on behalf of the applicant in question. However, representations were made to the Department in the case and a reply will issue to these shortly. The delay in replying to same was due mainly to staff resources being devoted to clearing the backlog of grant payments which built up towards the end of last year.
