Question 42: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will re-introduce the grant towards the three-phase electricity supply to agricultural and small industries in rural areas; if so, when he expects it would commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Farm Electrification Grants Scheme to Disadvantaged Areas is still open for applications for both single phase and 3-phase supply.

Against the background of the current economic climate I am reviewing the CLÁR programme as a whole, having regard to demand, the funding available and the level of outstanding commitments. In this context, I will consider the reintroduction of a modified single to three-phase electricity conversion measure when circumstances allow.
