231. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the countries to which Ireland has live exports currently in operation, by sector, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2645/18]
View answerLive exports were among the strongest performers in terms of agri-food export growth in 2017. Last year saw an increase by 21% in live exports, to the value of €175 million. €115 million of this represents the live cattle market, which saw an increase in exports of 46,000 head to 181,000 in 2017.
Agreed health certificates with over 20 non-EU countries, including 11 for the export of cattle, and 7 for sheep, pigs and goats are overseen by my Department. The list of countries and the certificates are available on my Department’s website.
The ongoing search for new, non-EU markets for livestock is a priority. Earlier this month my Department extended an invitation to Algeria to send a technical team to visit Ireland following on from our proposal to the Algerian authorities late last year on new and amended beef, sheep meat, and certain live animal health certificates.
In February last year I decreased the inspection fee on calves under 3 months, and am happy that 2017 saw an increase in calf exports of 40%. Calf exports to the Netherlands increased by 55% in 2017 to 42,000 head. Exports of Irish calves to Belgium also increased last year, to over 5,000 head. Calf exports to Spain increased by 38%, to over 43,000 head.

232. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the countries to which Ireland exports beef; the volume and value in 2016 and 2017 of beef exports by country, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2646/18]
View answer253. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the countries to which Ireland currently exports beef; the breakdown per country in volume and value in 2016 and 2017 of total exports, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2718/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 232 and 253 together.
In 2017 Irish agri-food exports recorded their 8th consecutive year of growth to reach an estimated €13.5 billion. Within that, overall meat and livestock exports increased by 8% to an estimated €3.95 billion according to the Bord Bia Performance and Prospects 2017/2018 report which I launched last week.
The total value of beef exports, including offal, was an estimated €2.5 billion in 2017, an increase of 5 percent overall and the volume of exports rose to an estimated 556,000 tonnes.
In order to provide a breakdown at country level, as requested, it is necessary to use CSO trade statistics. Although CSO trade statistics have not been released for the whole of 2017 yet, the following table provides all the beef exports for the period from the start of January to the end of November for 2017, compared to the whole year in 2016, in both value and volume terms.

233. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the countries to which Ireland exports dairy product; the volume and value in 2016 and 2017 of dairy exports, by country, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2647/18]
View answerIn 2016, Ireland exported dairy products, including dairy ingredients to 132 countries totalling over €3.9 billion worth of produce. The following table, based on CSO data, outlines details in respect of values and tonnage by country. It is understood that the first CSO estimates for 2017 will be available in mid-February. However, trends and analysis indicate that aggregate dairy exports in 2017 increased by approaching 20%, another robust performance.

234. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the countries to which Ireland exports lamb; the volume and value in 2016 and 2017 of lamb exports by country, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2648/18]
View answerIn 2017 Irish agri-food exports recorded their 8th consecutive year of growth to reach an estimated €13.5 billion. Within that, overall meat livestock exports increased by 8% to an estimated €3.95 billion according to the Bord Bia Performance and Prospects 2017/2018 report which I launched last week.
Sheepmeat exports are estimated to have increased by 12% in value terms to €275 million even though prices were affected by the weakness in Sterling, and by 14% in volume terms to 57,000 tonnes. In 2017 Ireland exported sheepmeat to 39 countries.
In order to provide a breakdown at country level, as requested, it is necessary to use CSO trade statistics. Although CSO trade statistics have not been released for the whole of 2017 yet, the table below provides all the sheepmeat exports for the period from the start of January to the end of November for 2017, compared to the whole year in 2016, in both value and volume terms.

View answer237. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the countries from which food and drinks products were imported in 2016 and 2017; the volume and value of these imports, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2651/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 236 and 237 together.
Irish agri-food exports and imports are broken down into 24 categories identified and agreed by my Department and the Central Statistics Office. Products and Raw goods are categorised using combined nomenclature codes, a European harmonised system used to classify goods for customs and trade purposes. These categories include items such as Forestry and Animal Hides and Skins, along with traditional Food and Beverage products.
Total agri-food sector imports for 2016 came to €8.17 billion from over 180 destinations worldwide.
Full year figures for 2017 are not yet available, however statistics from January – November indicate total agri-food imports for the period of €7.92 billion from over 180 destinations.
Total exports for 2016 came to €12.19 billion an increase of 1.8% from the previous year, and to over 180 destinations worldwide.
While full year figures are not yet available from the Central Statistics Office, returns indicate that exports for January – November 2017 totalled €12.4 billion.
The following tables provide a full breakdown of import and export destinations in respect of both value and volume of goods based on CSO data.
Total agri-food exports are estimated to reach €13.5 billion in 2017 when non-edible products such as forestry are included. Bord Bia's performance and prospects report provides valuable insights into the sectors and markets behind a 13% increase in the value of food and drink exports to €12.6 billion in 2017.
Further information in respect of Irish agri-food trade can be found in Chapter 4 of my Department's Annual Review and Outlook, 2016 - 2017.

238. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of additional staff to be recruited in all individual State agencies and bodies under his aegis in 2018 including Bord Bia, Bord Iascaigh Mhara, the National Milk Agency, Teagasc and the Marine Institute; the cost of hiring additional staff in each individual State agency or body; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2652/18]
View answerStaff recruitment within the State Agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the Agencies themselves.
Under the Delegated sanction Framework which sets out the annual pay ceiling for each agency, State agencies are permitted to recruit staff to fill vacancies as they arise subject to compliance with their annual pay ceiling.
Accordingly I have referred the Deputy's question to the agency for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
239. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 375 of 12 December 2017, when a reply will issue. [2653/18]
View answerThe Beef Data and Genomics Programme is the main support specifically targeted for the suckler sector, which will provide Irish beef farmers with some €300 million of funding over the lifetime of the current RDP.
The information sought by the Deputy, further to parliamentary question number 375 of 12 December 2017, is as follows:
Each €5 increase on the first 10 animals would cost €1,119,605
Each €5 increase on the first 15 animals would cost €1,529,240
Each €5 increase on the first 20 animals would cost €1,833,230
Each €5 increase on the first 25 animals would cost €2,053,070
Each €5 increase on the first 30 animals would cost €2,212,160.
Any change to the scheme would be very difficult in the context of an innovative scheme which has undergone an approval process by the European Commission. Payments to farmers under the BDGP are made on the basis of costs incurred or income foregone, any change to payment rates would require farmers to undertake additional actions to justify any increased payment.
The BDGP as currently configured represents a balance between direct income support for the sector and rural development measures designed to improve its competitiveness and sustainability. I believe that it is entirely appropriate to maintain this balance of developmental and income supports into the future.
243. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of applications received for the hen harrier scheme by county. [2657/18]
View answerI am pleased that the response to the new locally-led Hen Harrier Programme has been so positive with more than nine hundred applications received already. This level of response shows that farmers in the targeted designated areas welcome this scheme and I am glad that the information events organised and delivered by the Hen Harrier Team to farmers have generated such interest. This scheme, along with the supports already available through GLAS for farmers with hen-harrier habitat, will further the conservation of the bird as well as providing an important additional income stream for farmers in designated areas
The operation of the scheme is managed by the Hen Harrier Project Team and they have advised that the number of applications per county to date are:

244. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the annual budget allocation to the inshore fisheries conservation scheme in each year since it was established by county, in tabular form; the actual annual breakdown of expenditure incurred for each year by county; the 2018 budget allocation; and the number of scheme participants in each year, by county. [2660/18]
View answerMy Department's €240 million European Maritime and Fisheries Fund Operational Programme is the vehicle for financial supports to the seafood sector up to 2021. The Programme delivers a wide range of supports for aquaculture, fisheries and seafood processing through a suite of 15 schemes including the Inshore Fisheries Conservation Scheme.
The Inshore Fisheries Conservation Scheme supports implementation of the Small Scale Coastal Fisheries Action Plan to support the economic, social and environmental sustainability of inshore fishing. The Scheme operates on a National basis, so no budgets are allocated by county. The table below outlines the annual budget, the expenditure and number of beneficiaries.

The budget allocation for 2018 has not yet been finalised with BIM.
The information requested in relation to the number of scheme participants each year by county and the expenditure by county is being collated and will be forwarded to the Deputy separately.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
245. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his views on a recent European Court of Auditors report (details supplied). [2661/18]
View answerI have noted, and my officials are examining, the content of the European Court of Auditors Report on “Greening: a more complex income support scheme, not yet environmentally effective”
This report will be the subject of further consultation among EU Member States in which Ireland will fully participate. The issue of greening will also arise in any discussions on a new CAP on foot of the recent communication on the issue.
While Greening rules are applicable across all Member States, the impact at Member State level differs depending on the type of agricultural activity carried out in each Member State - those with a large proportion of arable land would require more changes to be made to farm practices. The majority of Ireland’s farmers were already compliant with the Greening Scheme rules at the time of introduction on the basis that 92% of Ireland’s agricultural land is grassland.
