Horticultural grant scheme under way
GOVERNMENT Chief Whip Paul Kehoe believes that a new grant scheme launched by colleague Shane Mcentee will be of particular interest to his constituency. The money is up for grabs for commercial horticulture projects, with special terms for applicants aged under 35 years of age.
'As this sector is so strong in County Wexford, I'm asking all of my constituents in the horticultural sector to be mindful of this initiative because some of them may be eligible and could benefit under it,' said Mr Kehoe.
Application forms can be obtained from Crop Policy, Production and Safety Division, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Administration Building, Backweston Campus, Young's Cross, Celbridge, Kildare, (01) 5058886 or at www. agriculture. gov. ie. Closing date for applications is February 10.
