Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 September 2006
1198 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food her views on increasing the level of grant assistance under the farm waste management grants where steel structures will form a major part of any development in view of the high price of steel; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29611/06]
View answerRevised Standard Costings which are used to calculate grants under the Farm Waste Management Scheme were introduced by my Department on 9 August 2006. The revised Costings take into account, inter alia, recent increases in the price of steel. The revised Standard Costings will be applied to all letters of approval issued to applicants to commence investment works since 1 January 2006.
