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 of urgency and, following clearance by the EC Commission, will be announced as soon as possible.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when payment of a farm modernisation grant will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford; and when payment of a beef/cattle grant will be made to the same person.
A claim under the farm improvement programme for payment of a grant of £5,265 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.
The person named has been paid his grants under the 1987 calf premium and special beef premium schemes. He is not eligible for cattle and equine headage grants as his lands are not in a more severely handicapped area. He did not apply for the 1987 suckler cow scheme.
