The person concerned was an applicant under the Farm Improvement Scheme and received grant-aid under the Scheme in respect of certain investments in 2008. However, one invoice was excluded for grant aid purposes as the contractor concerned was unable to provide tax clearance as required under the conditions of the scheme.
To date, the required tax clearance has not been received by my Department. The applicant has been advised of the circumstances of the case and the requirements that must be met to enable the remaining grant to be paid. I am not therefore in a position to progress the matter further.
