Grant aid of €65,280 was paid to the company in question in July 2005. 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 indicated that it will not dispose of the equipment in question and that its future use is under review. The question of recovery of any amounts due will follow upon consideration of the outcome of the review.
