The Minister mentioned grants for aquaculture. Has he any details as to how it is proposed to spend that money or what areas will be taken in, for instance oyster fishing development?

This global sum will not be allocated on a member state basis. It is all in the central EEC kitty to which promoters of projects can apply and it will be a Commission decision as to who is successful in an application for grant aid.

Do I take it that it will be necessary for us to have a programme prepared to have each application dealt with or at least put before the Commission before it can be dealt with?

Correct, yes.
