Incorrect data will hit grant hopes

INACCURATE or misleading information in Farm Waste Management grant applications will lead to forfeiture of entitlement to any grant aid for work carried out, warned Eddie O’Doherty, Department of Agriculture, at a Limerick IFA information meeting on the scheme.

He said: “You’d be surprised what some people are prepared to put in their applications. I am not making any allegations, but it does happen that information supplied is not always correct”.

It is understood that Agriculture Department officials are closely examining a number of the applications received, and have requested further information from applicants.
