Brendan Daly
Ceist:145 Mr. Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development the arrangements, if any, he will make to pay grant aid to farmers under the control of farmyard pollution scheme who were obliged, due to the dangers of causing pollution, to undertake urgent necessary works between the date of the suspension of payments under the old scheme and 28 June 1999 when the new scheme came in to operation; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a number of projects had to be undertaken and that the farmers in question cannot claim payment even though the projects have been completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
