Two applications for grant-aid under the Farm Waste Management Scheme were received in the name of the person named, who is now deceased. Two instalments of grant-aid in respect of the first application have been paid by my Department. However, no further payments can be made in respect of that application until the further documentation which was requested by the Inheritance Enquiry Unit in my Department has been received.

A second application for grant-aid under the Farm Waste Management Scheme was received by my Department on 22 December 2006. The project involved in this application required planning permission. However, as the planning permission was not received in my Department by the closing date of 30 June 2007 for receipt of a valid application under the Scheme, that application could not be further processed.
