Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
169 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Clare has not received forestry maintenance grant and yearly grant for 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17614/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person in question was informed by letter of 26 January 2004 that payment was withheld because the plantation was not being maintained to grant standards. The inspecting officer found that it needed fertilizer and control of furze. The applicant informed the Department on 11 June 2004 that he had completed the necessary remedial work. I am arranging for a repeat inspection as soon as possible.
