48,580 applications have been received by my Department under the revised Farm Waste Management Scheme which was introduced in March 2006. Of these, 2,080 were received in Co. Galway. Over €80m has been made available in this year's estimates for the Scheme and the 2008 allocation will be determined within the context of next year's estimates exercise. €21.318m was spent on the Scheme in 2006.
