Land improvement grants under the programme
Kitt asked for land-improvement figures. The Minister described grants for reclamation and improvement in disadvantaged areas; the Chair then ended further discussion to move to the next question.
Could the Minister give any figures in relation to land improvement under the western programme?
Comment on this
That is a separate question. I was speaking about the western package as a whole and, as the Deputy is aware, there are grants available in disadvantaged areas for dry reclamation, land improvement where the western drainage scheme is not in operation or where there is no need for drainage. That is being funded out of this scheme.
