I propose to take Question Nos. 504 and 505 together. The Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: I propose to take Questions Nos. 504 and 505 together.

My Department has no record of having received an application for grant-aid under the Farm Improvement Scheme from the person concerned. Applications under the Farm Improvement Scheme have been processed by my Department up to the level of funding provided for the Scheme in the 2006 Partnership Agreement, Towards 2016. As the funding made available for the Scheme has been allocated to the eligible applications received up to 21 October 2007, there are no plans to re-commence processing of the applications received between 22-31 October 2007.
