Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates)

Two pilot projects under the control of farm pollution schemes are currently being analysed by the Department in consultation with the applicants. Further information was requested of three other applicants in April of this year. No responses were received. No deadline has been set for either the receipt or adoption of projects.
