368 Mr. Leyden asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will investigate the circumstances surrounding the refusal of an installation aid grant for young farmers to a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon; and if he will outline the way in which an applicant born prior to 1 January 1968 when the scheme was suspended which prevented the applicant obtaining required education qualifications could obtain 180 hours educational qualifications required.
