The arrangements for payment of grants under the Farm Waste Management Scheme on a phased basis have been confirmed with 40 per cent being paid this year as claims are approved. A further 40 per cent will be paid in early January 2010 and the remaining 20 per cent in January 2011. Payment of the initial 40 per cent to farmers will be made as expeditiously as possible.

Errors were identified on the application submitted by this applicant. The Suckler Herd Section of my Department wrote to the person named on 14th November 2008, and to date no reply has been received. Officials will be in contact with him shortly with a view to resolving the matter.
