asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason for the delay in paying a farm development grant of £2,227 to a person (details supplied) in County Galway which was approved for payment on completion in September, 1987.

A claim under the farm improvement programme for payment of a grant of £2,127 has been received and will be paid as soon as practicable. All claims under the programme are dealt with strictly in order of receipt. 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 making grant payments.
