Willie Penrose
Ceist:319 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason for the introduction of Form IX to be completed by applicants for the REP scheme after 1 July 1999 and also by applicants who are entering a new area of land on to their existing REP scheme; if his attention has been drawn to the fact the applicants are required to sign their agreement to whatever terms or conditions are part of the scheme despite the fact these have not been finalised by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
