Enda Kenny
Question:357 Mr. E. Kenny asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the proposals, if any, he has to introduce drainage schemes in respect of land requiring this; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Drainage Schemes.
In line with recent EC policy, grant aid for drainage is limited to works of a minor nature carried out in association with land reclamation under the Farm Improvement Programme.
I am aware of the importance of maintenance drainage on farms and I am considering how this aspect can be accommodated in the submission to the EC being prepared by the Government on the post-1993 allocation of Structural Funds.
