Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 May 2017
331. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of applications in respect of the farm assist payment that have been submitted; the number of those which have been granted; and the number which have been refused in the past 12 months. [24281/17]
View answerAt the end of April there were 7,421 recipients of a farm assist payment.
Data on applications received and numbers of awarded or rejected claims for Farm Assist is only available in my Department’s information systems aggregated together with the corresponding data for Jobseeker’s Allowance claims, so that it is not possible to provide the requested disaggregated information for Farm Assist.
