‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Farm Modernisation Scheme. Verbal approval for farm grants
Summary
Walsh argued that Department officers had verbally approved the work, entitling farmers to grants; Hegarty said the officers lacked authority to do so. The Chair then deferred the remaining questions.
Is the Minister aware that officers of the Department visited the farmers concerned, gave verbal approval and the go ahead for the project and that, therefore, the farmers are entitled to grant aid?
