Revised Standard Costings which are used to calculate grants under the Farm Waste Management Scheme were introduced by my Department on 9 August 2006. The revised Costings take into account, inter alia, recent increases in the price of steel. The revised Standard Costings will be applied to all letters of approval issued to applicants to commence investment works since 1 January 2006.
