Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 July 2020
680. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of successful applications to the sheep welfare scheme by county in each of the years 2015 to 2019 and to date in 2020; and the average amount received per applicant by county and by quarter in the same period in tabular form. [19200/20]
View answerThe Sheep Welfare Scheme is a four year scheme that was introduced by my Department in 2016 and runs from 2017 - 2020.
Initial payments under the scheme commenced in November 2017. Payments under the scheme are in the form of an advance payment which issues in Quarter 4, and a balancing payment which issues in Quarter 2 of the following year. As such, payments do not issue per quarter and there is no payment information prior to November 2017. The advance payments have been paid at a rate of 85% in the first three years of the scheme, with the remaining 15% paid at balancing payment stage.
Please see outlined in the tables below the number of applications which received payment under the scheme from 2017, by county, the total amount paid in each county and the average payment per applicant in each county.
Payments for the 2020 scheme year will not be made until Q4 this year.
