Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
2010. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 574 of 12 July 2018, if the requested data will be provided in tabular form (details supplied). [35357/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraBased on the number of eligible ewes that have received payment in the 2017 scheme year to date, taking account of criteria set down under the programme, please see below the breakdown of expenditure for each category of increase.
The Sheep Welfare Scheme is part of Ireland's Rural Development Programme. It should be noted that the rate paid per ewe is based on the cost incurred and the income forgone by the farmer in carrying out the actions chosen under the scheme so that if the rate per ewe is to be increased then the actions will also have to increase. Any increase in the payment rate would require a formal amendment of Ireland's Rural Development Programme to change the costings and actions agreed under the Scheme. Any such amendment would have to be approved by the EU Commission.
