I will give details of the funding the co-operative in question received from the Exchequer under the Marketing and Processing Scheme operated by my Department under the 2000-2006 National Development Plan. In 2002, it received a total of €931,403 in respect of grain handling, drying and storage facilities at three of their branches. In 2004, it received a total of €613,382 paid in respect of grain handling, drying and storage facilities at one branch. FEOGA grant aid paid in respect of the pork processing facility was recovered by Enterprise Ireland following the closure of the facility before the expiry of the contingent liability period.
