All dairy farmers will receive a flat payment of €1,350 under the income support package announced by the European Commission in September, while young dairy farmers will get a second €800 top-up, bringing their total support to €2,150. This follows the announcement on Tuesday by Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney that the Government is to match the funding put forward by the EU with another €13.7m of national funding, thereby bringing the total package to €27.4m.
