Question:89 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a farm development grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Every effort is made to have payments under the farm investment aid schemes made at the earliest possible date. Claims are, of course, processed strictly in order of receipt and, therefore, the period between receipt of a particular claim and its payment is affected by the overall volume of claims to be processed at the time in question and the position in regard to budgetary resources. Having regard to the level of claims currently on hands, it is likely to be about three months before this payment can be made.
