To date, a total of €85m has been paid to qualifying applicants under the Scheme, €35m in 2008 and €50m in 2009/2010. Of this, €41m has been paid to 9 primary processors and €44m to 104 secondary processors. Payments are still continuing and it is not possible to provide a final list of all beneficiaries, or the total sums involved. However, a list of the applicants who have received payment to date is being supplied separately to the Deputy. No payments have been made to retailers under the Scheme.
