Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
1581. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to put a grant aid scheme in place in conjunction with the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment for specific equipment (details supplied). [25859/16]
View answerUnder the Rural Development Programme 2000 -2006 a Pilot Scheme for Waste Processing Facilities made funding available for the installation of anaerobic digestors on ten Irish farms. Of the ten applications approved under the scheme, two applications were finalised and drew down the grant available and a further two cases have been given an extension to the end of 2016 to complete the work. I have no plans to reintroduce a similar Scheme.
