Under the Draft Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 which was recently published by my Department, grant aid for farm grain storage and ancillary facilities is included under the sub-measure in the Farm Investment category of the programme. The Programme remains to be cleared by the EU Commission and must also fulfill EU State aid criteria.
