The person concerned applied for grant aid from my Department under the dairy hygiene scheme in December 2004. However, as the installation of the equipment concerned had been completed in June 2003, the application was deemed ineligible for aid. As it is a strict condition of the scheme that grant aid will not be paid for works commenced before written approval has been conveyed to the applicant, I regret that I am not in a position to provide any assistance to the applicant in this case.
