The information requested is not readily available.
A further reply will issue to the Deputy as soon as possible.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 473, Ref. No.16125/19, regarding the gender breakdown of the number of farmers availing of farm payments in each of the years 2012 to 2018 for the schemes identified.
Please find the data in the following tables. Please note that the figures provided relate only to the gender breakdown for individual scheme participants that have received payments under the schemes identified. There are categories of scheme participants for which the gender breakdown is not applicable, for example Companies, Partnerships, etc, and these are not reflected in the information provided.
