Written Answers. - Farm Improvement Grants.
55.
Approximately 5,000 claims for grants amounting to about £7.5 million are at present awaiting clearance under the investment aid schemes operated by my Department.
Information on the number and amount of grants in process of certification is not readily available and its compilation would involve a disproportionate amount of work.
