The above are the total allocation for the schemes. In a few cases, small parts of the allocation for schemes are not co-funded.
In addition to the schemes mentioned by the Deputy there are also allocations in 2017 for the animal welfare scheme, the traditional farm building scheme and food producer scheme. The Horticulture scheme is not co-funded under the 2014-2020 RDP.
Allocations for the years 2018-2020 will be determined in the context of the annual estimates process for those years.
