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 Kildare during the period.
Scheme | Amount |
â'¬m | |
Compensatory Allowances | 6.302 |
REPS | 17.597 |
Early Retirement | 1.515 |
Forestry | 4.266 |
Food | 1.415 |
Farm Waste Management | 0.589 |
Installation Aid | 0.549 |
Dairy Hygiene Scheme | 0.190 |
Alternative Enterprises | 0.045 |
Livestock Breeding equine | 2.676 |
Organic Farming | 0.031 |
Grain Storage | 0.268 |
Potatoes | 0.004 |
Horticulture | 0.960 |
Animal Carcase Disposal | 0.051 |
Total | 36.458 |
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. The new NDP 2007-2013 has a variety of measures addressing the needs of the agri-food sector. Participation has not been pre-determined on a location basis and will depend on compliance with the relevant eligibility conditions.
