Written Answers. - Dairy and Hygiene Scheme Funding.

Declan Bree

Question:

891 Mr. Bree asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the reason grant aid under the dairy and hygiene scheme for small scale milk producers has not been paid to a person (details supplied) in County Sligo in view of the fact that the project for which funding was sought has been completed for some time; if his Department will now hold an investigation into this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16098/96]

Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates)

The Department has not been notified that the works have been completed in line with the Department specifications. Once the necessary certificate is submitted the works will be inspected and, if they are completed in line with the approval, payment should issue shortly afterwards.
