Question:159 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Galway will be paid his farm improvement grant. [18191/97]
Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
As it is necessary for the applicant to establish that his farm enterprise has minimum labour requirements of one man work unit (MWU) to be eligible under the scheme of installation aid, his file cannot be finalised until after the end of the production year — 31 December 1997. I expect this matter to be finalised shortly after that.
