Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2022
711. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the total number of farmers paid under the basic payment scheme since the formation of the current Government; the total amount of payments in Euro paid out under this scheme by county in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [60256/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraApplications under the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) are completed online via agfood.ie. The online application facility takes in approx. 130,000 applications annually. Eligible applications are processed promptly for payment. The application facility opens mid-February annually and closes mid-May.
BPS payments begin each year with an advance payment mid-October and a balancing payment the first week in December. The efficient issuing of Scheme payments to farmers continues to be a key priority for my Department. The information requested is outlined in the tables below.
