Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 December 2020
792. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of sheep welfare scheme recipients by county in 2021; and the average payment by county in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39788/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraPlease find the information requested by the Deputy in the table below. The table below reflects advance payments recently made at a rate of 85% made under Year 4 of the sheep welfare scheme which runs from the 1st of February 2020 to the 31st of January 2021.
I am pleased to confirm that, as part of Budget 2021, I secured an additional €17m to continue the scheme for next year. The fifth year of the scheme will commence on the 1st of February 2021.
