asked the Minister for Agriculture the position in regard to an application for a farm modernisation grant in respect of a road improvement made by a person (details supplied) in County Galway.
It is a condition for the payment of grants to development farmers under the farm modernisation scheme that an extract of farm accounts is submitted for each year of the plan.
As the applicant in this case is a development farmer, the grant cannot be paid until the necessary extract for the accounting year ended 30 June 1983 has been furnished. The extract should be furnished to the local ACOT office not later than 31 July 1984, failing which grant aid in respect of the works carried out will be paid at the low rate and the applicant will lose entitlement to further aid as a development farmer.
