Farm building grant rate

Summary

Gallagher asked whether a development farmer moved into the commercial category could receive a 40 per cent grant; the Minister said it depended on when the buildings were completed and offered to review the case.

Denis Gallagher Mr. D. Gallagher Fianna Fáil

In recent days at Question Time the Minister has emphasised the grants available for farm buildings. I am putting forward the case of a development farmer who was obliged to go into the commercial category and whose grants were reduced to 30 per cent. What is the position in relation to a farmer in this case? Will he get the 40 per cent mentioned by the Minister?

It would depend on the date his buildings were finished, but if the Deputy has a specific case in mind I will deal with it afterwards.
