Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 April 2009
216 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the reason letters sent out to farmers in relation to the farm waste management scheme were unsigned; his views on whether this is a good practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13890/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs has been the practice in regard to previous notices sent by my Department to applicants under this Scheme, the recent letters issued to applicants referred to by the Deputy indicated the name and address of the responsible Division of my Department and provided contact points for applicants who wished to receive further information. In view of the number of letters involved (approx. 17,000 issued in one week), it was not possible to nominate a single signatory.
