Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The detailed information requested by the Deputy is contained in the following tables which set out a range of information as follows. The county breakdown table shows for each year from 2014 to 2017

- the number of applications with allocated entitlements in October of the scheme year in question and the number of these applications actually paid in October of that scheme year.

- the number of applications with allocated entitlements currently, and the number of these actually paid currently.

For example, in October 2015 119,679 applicants had entitlements under the BPS and 105,583 of these were paid an advance BPS payment in that month. Given the nature of the scheme, the number of 2015 applications with an allocation of entitlements currently stands at 126,894. Of these, 126,482 have received a BPS payment.

The second table sets out the annual ceilings and expenditure to date. The expenditure to date figures from 2015 onwards include the BPS, Greening, Young Farmer Scheme and Protein Aid payments which are included under the global ceiling. In the case of 2014, Ireland took up the EU regulatory option to assign unspent Single Payment Scheme funds to schemes such as the Grassland Sheep Scheme, the Dairy Efficiency Programme, and the Burren Farming for Conservation Programme. Where the ceilings have not been utilised in full, these amounts remain available to pay applicants who may subsequently become eligible/cleared for payment. The nature of these remaining cases is that they can be protracted in nature - for example, legal issues and inheritance cases.
