Written answers

The information requested by the Deputy is currently being prepared and will be forwarded directly to the Deputy when it is available.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question 61908/21 regarding the number of dairy farmers receiving less than €10,000 in pillar 1 payments for the years 2016 to date by county.
No data is available as to the particular sectors the payments are paid on, nor is there a requirement on the applicant to provide such information. Payment is made based on the applicant holding entitlements and corresponding eligible land to cover those entitlements.
Please see below the data in tabular form for all herds receiving less than €10,000.
