103 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when an agricultural installation aid premium grant payment will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; and if he will expedite the payment.

The file in this case was received by the Department from Teagasc on 29 June 1993. If the applicant is found to be eligible payment will be made as soon as possible. It should be noted, however, that before payment can be made it will be necessary to inspect the up-to-date land cert-folio for the lands in question.
