Summary
Treacy asked how many subsidy applications were approved. Deasy said 17,000 of 24,000 nitrogen applicants had been paid, with about 7,000 still being processed, and acknowledged that some applications would be rejected.
The Minister told us that there were 24,000 applications for the nitrogen scheme. I wish to know how many of those applications were approved. Also, how many of the 34,000 applications for the silage subsidy were passed?
Comment on this
Of the 24,000 for the nitrogen subsidy scheme, 17,000 applicants were paid in 1985. Approximately 7,000 applications remain to be processed and it is hoped to pay them in the very near future.
