The following table shows the total amounts and number of payees per county in payments made by my Department under the forestry schemes in 2023. These payments include grants and premiums under the afforestation schemes and grants under the support schemes. The major component of these payments were subsequent  premiums due for forests planted under the Afforestation schemes. It includes payments made under the interim schemes under the general De Minimis regulation for afforestation, forest roads and reconstitution of ash Dieback introduced in 2023 prior the launch of the new programme.
