Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 June 2009
234 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan will have an inspection; when they will be awarded the farm waste management grant; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23598/09]
View answerThe arrangements for payment of grants under the Farm Waste Management Scheme on a phased basis have been confirmed with 40 per cent being paid this year as claims are approved. A further 40 per cent will be paid in early January 2010 and the remaining 20 per cent in January 2011. I have also announced that a special ex-gratia payment not exceeding 3.5 per cent of the value of the deferred amount will be made to farmers whose Farm Waste Management grants have been partially deferred. This payment will be made in January 2011 along with the final instalment.
My Department is currently processing the application concerned and a decision will be made as soon as possible.
