Eric J. Byrne
Question:29 Mr. E. Byrne asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he has satisfied himself that the operation of the REPS is fully monitored; the plans, if any, he has to improve the monitoring of the scheme; if it is permissible for the excess to be retained by the applicant in cases where the cost of works carried out is less than the amount of grant-aid received; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
