Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
The BEAM scheme was introduced to assist farmers who were very badly affected by difficult market conditions in 2018 and early 2019.
There was potentially €100 million available in funding, €50 million of which was EU funding while €50 million was national funding. We have applications for the BEAM scheme to the tune of €78 million. We intend to start paying that money in December.
