Vol. 411 No. 7
121 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he is prepared to extend the closing date for land reclamation carried out under the 1991 farm development schemes in view of the number of works not yet completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The programme for western development under which grant aid was available for land improvement was a ten year measure co-financed by the EC which finished last April. The EC with difficulty was prevailed upon to allow some limited time for completion of works but will not now contemplate any further extensions of the time limit.
Grant aid for land improvement continues to be available under the farm improvement programme.
