The person concerned is an applicant for grant-aid under the Farm Waste Management Scheme. His application for payment is currently being examined within my Department and, if the investment works are found to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Scheme, the claim will progress to payment stage.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1350 and 1357 together.

The deadline for completion of work and the submission of claims for grant payment under the Farm Waste Management Scheme expired on 31 December 2008 although applicants were permitted to submit certain supporting documentation up to 9 January 2009.

My Department is undertaking a review of the situation including assessment of the number of fully documented applications and estimation of the overall cost of the claims. The 2009 allocation for the Scheme is €125 million.
