The person concerned is an applicant under the TAMS Dairy Equipment Scheme and submitted a grant application during the course of the tranche which closed on 31 January 2013. My Department issued a letter to the applicant on 11 January 2013 in relation to certain aspects of the application and a reply to that letter is still outstanding.

In the case of investments in relation to bovine milk production, the Scheme requires that an applicant must have between 50,000 litres and 1 million litres of milk quota at the time of application in order to be eligible for grant-aid.
