Grant-aid under the Farm Waste Management Scheme is calculated on the basis of my Department's Standard Costs or on the total of the eligible receipts/invoices submitted by the applicant, whichever is the lesser. The person concerned was also eligible for a 60% grant in this case, rather than the 70% rate referred to by the Deputy.
