Under the National Development Plan 2000-2006 the company named received grant aid of €23,553 in 2002 and €111,300 in 2004 under the Scheme of Investment Aid for the Development of the Commercial Horticulture Sector. Grant aid was paid to this company in accordance with the terms of the specific grant aid scheme in question. The criteria for eligibility for the NDP grant aid as set out in the Terms and Conditions of the scheme and as published on the Department's website, include conditions relating to use of the grant-aided equipment for a minimum period.

The current status of the company and the use of the equipment which was grant-aided is being examined in this context. The outcome of those enquiries will determine whether any further action is necessary.
