My Department published a consultation paper on the new Rural Development Programme in January 2014. In the case of TAMS II, the consultation paper set out a number of priorities for on-farm investment schemes under the new Programme. These included, in the poultry sector, the upgrading of facilities in the areas of renewable energy, water and medicines. I intend to include further details in relation to the grants that will be available for this sector in the Rural Development Programme itself, when it is finalised in the near future.
