Joe McHugh
Question:181 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the way he plans to keep the substantially greater matching funds that are now accruing to REP scheme three and REP scheme four in view of the fact that he has recently announced a new agri-environmental scheme which will cost €50 million and assuming that half of the money will come from the EU; his plans to let the matching funds be returned to the EU and not drawn down; his further plans to assign this funding to another scheme which will require matching funds to be provided by the Exchequer; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
