An application under the Farm Improvement Scheme was received by my Department on 31 October 2007 from the person named. As announced at that time, applications under the Scheme were processed up to the level of funding provided for in the Scheme as set out in the 2006 Partnership Agreement, Towards 2016 . As the scheme funding has been exhausted, it is not possible to grant aid further applications, including the application from the person named. I have no plans to re-commence processing of those applications for which no funding has been provided.
