12,675 applications were received under the Farm Improvement Scheme prior to its suspension on 31 October 2007. These applications are currently being processed up to the level of funding made available for the Scheme under the 2006 Partnership agreement, Towards 2016.

Where approvals are issued by my Department to commence work under the Scheme, grant payments will be made to the applicants concerned when it has been determined that the investment works concerned comply with the terms and conditions of the Scheme.
