Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 June 2016
190. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will pay the remaining part of a grant to a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16254/16]
View answerThe person named 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 and I am not therefore in a position to progress the matter further.
The applicant has been advised of the circumstances of each case and the Department’s requirements to enable the remaining grant to be paid.
