Some 48,580 applications were received from farmers under the revised Farm Waste Management Scheme introduced by my Department in March 2006. Some 17,397 payment claims remain to be brought to final payment stage in 2009, including those which completed the inspection process towards the end of 2008. I regret that it is not possible at this stage to provide a breakdown of these figures on a county basis.
