The person named lodged an application under the Scheme of Installation Aid on 5th October 2001. The application was incomplete and inaccurate and in November 2001 the applicant was asked to submit a fresh and valid application. The new application was submitted to the Department in January 2003. On 19th February 2004 the Department wrote to the applicant to advise him that the application was, again, incorrectly completed and asked him to amend and re-submit a revised SIA 3 form. The form was not re-submitted. In March 2005, representations were made to the then Minister for Agriculture and Food, Mary Coughlan TD, enquiring further into the matter. The Minister replied that the required application form was still outstanding and allowed the applicant a further opportunity to submit a correct version. However, the applicant did not avail of this opportunity.

As the deficiencies in the original application were never addressed and the scheme is closed since 2002 the application cannot be processed at this stage.
