John McGuinness

Ceist:

138 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if approval under the dairy hygiene scheme to a person (details supplied) in County Laois can be extended beyond the completion date of 31 December 1997 to mid year 1998 in view of the personal circumstances which have arisen and delayed the development works. [21830/97]

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

The time for completion of the proposed dairy hygiene works was already extended from 30 September 1997 to 31 December 1997. A request by the applicant for a further extension will be considered, provided the works in question are at an advanced stage of construction.
