Mr. Deenihan
asked the
Minister for Agriculture and Food
if a person (details supplied) in County Kerry will qualify for a top-up grant for young farmers; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
[14725/06]
Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mary Coughlan):
The person named is an applicant under the farm waste management scheme. To qualify for the top-up grant for young farmers, an application must be received by my Department within a period of five years from the date on which he-she is first issued with a herd number or other Department identifier. This is a requirement of the EU provisions governing the scheme and I have no flexibility in regard to the matter.
This applicant applied under the previous version of the farm waste management scheme and was approved for a grant of 55%, including the young farmer top-up grant, as his application was received within the period of five years referred to above. He then applied on 6 April 2006 for the higher grant rates applicable under the revised farm waste management scheme introduced by my Department on 24 March 2006. As the period of five years has now elapsed, however, he is eligible only for the new standard grant-rate of 60% provided for in the revised scheme.
