AGRI ENVIRONMENTAL OPTIONS SCHEME


To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of persons who have subscribed to the agri environmental options scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter

REPLY: - Applications for the Agri-Environment Options Scheme were received up to the deadline of 17 May both at my Department's office at Johnstown Castle in Co Wexford, from where the scheme is administered, and, in order to facilitate farmers, at local offices throughout the country. The local offices are in the process of sending the applications they received to Johnstown Castle. As not all applications have yet reached Johnstown Castle, it is not possible to say exactly how many farmers have applied for the scheme. However it appears that the total number will be in the region of eight thousand. (Minister Brendan Smith)
