An analysis of the Department of Agriculture’s scheme payments update for the week ending 12 January 2024 shows €5.5m paid to over 1,250 farmers across five schemes. The largest sum was paid under the Basic Income Support for Sustainability (BISS) and the Complementary Redistributive Income Support for Sustainability (CRISS) with €2.7m paid to 302 farmers.
This is followed by €1.38m paid to 335 applicants under the Eco Scheme. As mentioned last week payments under the Areas of Natural Constraint have slowed with the majority of eligible applicants receiving payment. In the region of €0.8m was paid to another 553 farmers last week. Payment runs continue to take place on a weekly basis across all of these schemes.
Farmers can continue to check any payments issued via their agfood.ie portal. Payments made will be detailed under the ‘Final Self-Services’ tab. This will detail payments made by scheme and there is also a tab in the top left showing payments which have been sanctioned but which have not yet been paid.
