I propose to take Questions Nos. 218 and 219 together.
The measures relevant to my Department in the 2000-2006 National Development Plan did not provide for or relate to individual projects. Instead, they comprised support schemes for the agri-food sector and related research. The table below sets out payments under the various schemes in County Wexford during the period.
Scheme | Amount |
â'¬m | |
Compensatory Allowances | 19.548 |
REPS | 36.535 |
Early Retirement | 7.719 |
Forestry | 6.956 |
Food | 3.260 |
Farm Waste Management | 1.696 |
Installation Aid | 1.385 |
Dairy Hygiene Scheme | 0.712 |
Alternative Enterprises | 0.287 |
Livestock Breeding equine | 0.043 |
Organic Farming | 0.013 |
Grain Storage | 0.330 |
Potatoes | 0.268 |
Horticulture | 1.048 |
Total | 79.800 |
In addition to the above payments, support provided under the National Development Plan for general measures such as agri-food research and cattle breeding infrastructures also benefited of the agri-food sector in County Wexford.
