Question 161: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the plans she has to revise the standard costings for the farm waste management grant in view of the dramatic increase in the cost of materials and labour; if she will ensure that applicants are informed of the value of the grant when they receive formal approval; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Revised Standard Costings which are used to calculate grants under the Farm Waste Management Scheme were introduced by my Department on 9 March 2007 and are applicable to all letters of approval to commence work under the Farm Waste Management Scheme issued by my Department since 1 January 2007.

The Standard Costings are now available on my Department's web-site. Farmers, together with their advisers, are therefore in a position to determine the level of grant likely to be available for proposed works.
