Grant aid of €65,280 was paid to the company in question in July 2005 towards the installation of carcase classification equipment. It is a condition of the award of this grant aid that the beneficiary must not dispose of the equipment without the written authorisation of my Department, or abandon the investment, for a period of four years from the date of payment.

The company has been reminded of the contingent liability period and has been asked to indicate its future plans for the grant aided equipment. The recovery of any amounts due will follow upon examination of the company's response.
