The person named made an application under the first tranche of the Young Farmers Capital Investment Scheme, which closed on the 25 September 2015. However, at the time of application he was unable to provide the full and final planning permission for the investment items proposed, as required under the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme. Along with a number of other applicants in a similar position, the person-named availed of an extension provided by my Department and was able to submit the required planning permission within the extended timeframe. I am pleased to say that he has now passed the first stage of approval.
