Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The rate of payment for the Site Clearance element of the Reconstitution and Underplanting Scheme (Ash Dieback) is €1,000 per hectare. The Scheme document for RUS (Ash Dieback) can be found on the Department's website, with the rate of payment shown correctly at Appendix 3 on page 25 of this Scheme document.
