740 applications were received by my Department in County Mayo under the Farm Improvement Scheme prior to its suspension on 31 October 2007. Of these, 241 applications were received in Ballina, 198 in Castlebar and 301 in Claremorris. These applications are currently being processed within my Department up to the level of funding made available for the Scheme in the 2006 Partnership agreement, Towards 2016. No applications received prior to the date of suspension of the Scheme have been rejected by my Department.
