Vol. 415 No. 8
410 Mr. Sheehan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will consider giving a further extension of time to enable applicants to complete work on their schemes under the programme for western development (land improvement scheme) as some applicants were unable to meet the closing date of 30 November 1991.
The programme for western development under which grant aid was available for land improvement was a ten year measure co-financed by the EC which finished last April. The EC with difficulty was prevailed upon to allow some limited time for completion of works but will not now contemplate any further extensions of the time limit.
Grant aid for land improvement continues to be available under the farm improvement programme.
