Particulars of the numbers of applications under the Farm Buildings Scheme approved and refused in each of the last 10 years in the counties named in the Deputy's Question are not readily available. I am having inquiries made in the matter however and will communicate with the Deputy in writing as soon as possible. The remaining information sought by the Deputy is in the form of a tabular statement and with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate the statement with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
