Vol. 478 No. 2

Written Answers. - Dairy Hygiene Scheme.

Michael P. Kitt

Ceist:

35 Mr. M. Kitt asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when it is proposed to reintroduce the dairy hygiene grants scheme which was suspended in October 1996; if factors such as off-farm income and size of holding will be taken into consideration in a new scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10680/97]

As stated in Partnership 2000 it is the Government's intention to give priority to the reintroduction of the dairy hygiene scheme if additional funds become available at the mid-term review of the Structural Funds.

The specific criteria applying to any reopening of the scheme will be examined once the conclusions of the review are known.
