56 Miss Harney asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will introduce a scheme of grants for deer farming; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2800/94]
A scheme of grant aid for investments in deer farming has been included in the Operational Programme for Agriculture, Rural Development and Forestry, which is under negotiation with the European Commission. I expect those negotiations to be finalised shortly.
