Answer
The aim of the Sustainable Utilisation of Poultry Litter (SUPL) Scheme was to help resolve a significant local environmental and economic issue, and to help Northern Ireland comply with EU nitrates targets to positively impact the poultry sector and the wider Northern Ireland economy.
The loan was made on the basis that once the plant was operational and profitable repayments would commence.
