Vol. 572 No. 1

Written Answers. - Installation Aid Scheme.

Billy Timmins

Ceist:

106 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the amount of funding spent on installation aid from 1 January 2003 to date; his plans to change the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22604/03]

Expenditure in 2003 to date on the installation aid scheme has been €5.856 million. The operation of the scheme is currently being evaluated as part of the mid-term review of the measures set out in the National Development Plan 2000-2006 and the CAP rural development plan. Any changes to the scheme will have to be considered in the context of that review, which is required to be carried out under the EU provisions governing the operation of such schemes.
