Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 May 2015
375. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the provision in his Department's 2015 estimates for expenditure under the green low-carbon agri-environmental scheme, the beef genomics scheme, and the targeted agricultural modernisation scheme; and the expected out-turn expected with regard to these provisions. [18678/15]
View answerI have included €20 million for GLAS payments in my Department’s estimates for 2015 and expect to make payments to eligible GLAS participants before the end of the year.
€52 million has been allocated for expenditure under the Beef Data Genomics Programme for 2015.
€34 million has been allocated for the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Schemes for 2015.
It is too early in the year to estimate the final outturn with any accuracy.
