244. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his views on ring-fencing moneys under the sheep-fencing element of the targeted agricultural modernisation scheme 2 for farmers with flocks only; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21607/16]
View answerSheep fencing has been included as an investment item under the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS II). As set out in the Terms and Conditions of the TAMS II Animal Welfare, Safety and Nutrient Scheme, the Young Farmers’ Capital Investment Scheme and the Organic Capital Investment applicants are required to use the investment items for the purposes for which they were intended and penalties are provided for in cases where it is found that an investment item has not been used for the purposes intended.
