Payment claims
The level of payment claims submitted in recent weeks has increased, which is not surprising given the tighter timelines introduced for farmers to undertake works or purchase equipment.
There are now 17,658 payment applications submitted and 16,589 applications paid, meaning there are 1,069 applications being processed at present.
The total sum of money paid out under the scheme now stands at €243m (€231.769m plus €11.513m transitional spend plus €.085m manual payments).
Tranche 19 of the scheme opened on 22 August and while there is still no confirmed closing date, it is thought it will be in mid-October.
