My Department's Compendium of Agricultural Statistics, which is published annually, provides a detailed breakdown of EU receipts in Ireland, including those from the FEOGA Guidance and Guarantee Funds, and from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and the European Agricultural Rural Development Fund which have replaced them since 2007.
The Compendium for 2008, which is at present being finalised, shows EU receipts of more than €43 billion in the period 1973-2007, and € 36.137 billion in the 20 years from 1987 to 2007. The following is a copy of the Tables to be published in the 2008 Compendium for the Deputy's information. To date in 2008, EU receipts by my Department amount to €288.637 million.
