Question:100 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the proposals, if any, he has to re-introduce the control of farmyard pollution scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter [16558/98]
Written Answers. - Control of Farm Pollution Scheme.
There are currently no funds available in the Community Support Framework to re-open the control of farm pollution scheme. Considerable additional funding has already been provided for this measure which has been used to meet existing commitments.
I regard on-farm investment as a high priority, and I am continuing to pursue the question of funding to enable the introduction of a more focused farm pollution scheme.
