110.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when installation aid will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Wexford.

The processing of the application in this case has been completed and the applicant has been deemed eligible to participate in the scheme. Payment of the premium will be made as soon as practicable and I will inform the Deputy at the appropriate time.

All premia are paid strictly in the order in which eligibility is established. Payments are being phased in such a way as to ensure adherence to the amount provided in the Vote. Consequently, there is some delay in payment of the premia.

The person mentioned was deemed ineligible under the original scheme of installation aid for young farmers as the deed of transfer was signed subsequent to the termination of the scheme on 31 March 1987.

As announced in the budget, installation aid for young farmers is being reintroduced and it is my intention that the new aid should be back-dated to the termination of the original scheme. Details of the new arrangements are being drawn up as a matter or urgency and, following clearance by the EC Commission, will be announced as soon as possible. Pending that announcement it is not possible to assess the eligibility of the person mentioned under the revised scheme.

Under the original scheme of installation aid for young farmers, which was terminated on 31 March 1987, an applicant had to meet certain requirements in relation to skill and competence at the time of installation on the farm. In this case, the applicant did not possess the required qualifications at the time of installation and was consequently deemed ineligible.
