Question 59: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if adequate moneys will be available in her Department for 2008 to meet all commitments under the farm waste management scheme; the estimated cost of projected completions in 2008 under the scheme; the funds provided for in the National Development Plan for the scheme in 2008; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

A total of €350 million was provided for the Farm Waste Management Scheme and related measures, such as the Farm Improvement Scheme, by the 2007-2013 National Development Plan as part of an overall package of measures amounting to €8.6 billion of public funding for the agri-food sector as set out in that Plan. I am satisfied that sufficient funding will be made available for the Farm Waste Management Scheme in my Department's estimates for 2008 to meet all the financial commitments which arise under that Scheme during the course of that year.
