Ceist:

339 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will investigate the level of grant aid payable under a farm waste management application for a person (details supplied); if in view of the death of the original applicant and the fact that their successor is under 35 years and a young qualified farmer, they will be entitled to the higher rate of grant payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
