The Liming Programme was introduced by my Department earlier this year to incentivise the use of Lime, a natural soil conditioner which corrects soil acidity, makes nutrients more available for plant uptake, and improves overall soil health.

In order to be eligible for aid under the Liming Programme, an Expression of Interest must have been submitted between the 15th of March and the 20th of April this year. This was the period when the Programme was open for applications.

A search of Department records has identified that the person named did not submit an Expression of Interest for the Liming Programme and is therefore not eligible to receive aid under the Programme.
