Question:

109 Mr. Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if grants are available for pilot projects to grow cut foliage (details supplied). [15547/04]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

My Department does not grant-aid pilot projects but under the NDP investment aid scheme for the development of commercial horticulture applicants may obtain grant aid towards the capital costs of specialised equipment across the full range in the horticulture sector. The closing date for the scheme for 2004 has passed.
