Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 February 2013
169. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a dairy equipment scheme grant will be provided to a person (details provided) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6421/13]
View answerThe person concerned is an applicant under the TAMS Dairy Equipment Scheme and submitted a grant application during the course of the tranche which closed on 31 January 2013. My Department issued a letter to the applicant on 11 January 2013 in relation to certain aspects of the application and a reply to that letter is still outstanding.
In the case of investments in relation to bovine milk production, the Scheme requires that an applicant must have between 50,000 litres and 1 million litres of milk quota at the time of application in order to be eligible for grant-aid.
