Agri-Environment Options Scheme
3:00 pm
Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)
No. If there were no new applicants for the AEO scheme, we would still draw down our full funding from Europe. We do not need new applicants for the scheme to draw down our maximum funding from Europe. That is the position. We will know our exact current and capital budgetary allocations next week, when the budget is announced. Decisions on the various Votes - the amount of funding to be provided under each subhead - will be made subsequently.
