The person concerned is an applicant under the Young Farmers' Installation Scheme, which has been suspended for new applications since 14 October 2008. Under the terms of the scheme, payment of the grant concerned is made once it has been established that the requirements of the scheme have been met, including the conditions in relation to property, education and income. In this case, an initial application (YFIS 1) was received by my Department on 5 August 2008 and an application for payment (YFIS 2) was received on 6 March 2009. The outcome of my Department's examination of the application will be made known to the applicant shortly.
