194 Mr. Kirk asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if grant aid is available for ostrich farming in Ireland and other member States of the EU. [1897/95]
I am examining, in conjunction with the European Commission, the possibility of including ostrich farming in the Alternative Enterprise Scheme which forms part of the Operational Programme for Agriculture, Rural Development and Forestry. I am not aware of any similar scheme in any other member state.
