With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 12 and 13 together.
I am not as yet in a position to give my decision on this scheme, contract documents for which are under consideration in my Department. It has qualified for EEC aid of £84,000 from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund. When the question of financing the scheme arises the balance of the cost will be met by a loan from the Local Loans Fund. The State assistance towards the repayment of this loan will be by way of contribution at the rate of 60 per cent towards the annual loan charges arising.
