Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2015
447. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to provide grant aid under either the targeted agricultural modernisation scheme or the farm safety scheme for the replacement of asbestos roofs on farm buildings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21567/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe various investment schemes being introduced under TAMS II do not provide for the replacement or reconstruction of roofs on farm buildings, irrespective of the original material of construction. The only related investment, and one which is specifically provided for under the existing Farm Safety Scheme, is for retrofitting of safety-cages underneath clear-sheet roofing panels.
