Written answers

The table below sets out the total amount of farmer scheme payments made under the following schemes: - Sheep Improvement Scheme (SIS), Sheep Welfare Scheme, BDGP, BEEP S, Dairy Beef, BEAM, Beef Finisher Schemes, SCEP, National Beef Welfare Scheme 2023 and National Dairy Beef Welfare Scheme 2023 on a per county basis for the years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.  

It is important to stress that under the "Number of payees" column, a farmer could be included twice where they are in receipt of more than 1 scheme payment - for example in 2023 for Carlow, if a farmer is in receipt of both the SIS and SCEP, they will be included twice within the figure of 1,224.
