I assume that the Deputy is referring to the requirement that planning permission or a declaration of exemption must be submitted with all applications under the Dairy Equipment Scheme for external bulk milk tanks. Under this condition, it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that any building in which a milking machine or milk cooling equipment is installed in compliant with the planning permission legislation. The issue of such planning permission is a matter for the relevant local authority and does not come within the remit of my Department.
