The person concerned is an applicant under the Dairy Equipment Scheme and submitted an application for grant-aid prior to the temporary suspension of the scheme for new applications on 8 June 2011. These applications are currently being processed by my Department.

The Deputy will be aware that it is a standard condition of all on-farm investment schemes that work must not have commenced prior to the issue of written approval by my Department.
