Details of applications under the Single Payment Scheme are maintained on a county basis and, therefore, my Department's statistics relate to the entire county of Tipperary and are as follows: 2007: 7,339 applications, of which 6,984 have been paid a total of €105,645,716, to date; 2008: 7,287 applications, of which 6,936 have been paid a total of €106,183,892, to date; 2009: 7,274 applications, of which 6,930 have been paid a total of €104,892,720, to date.

It must be appreciated that applicants under a variety of schemes, in addition to the Single Payment Scheme, are required annually to submit Single Payment Scheme applications e.g. applicants under REPS and applicants under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme. As processing of the 2010 Single Payment Scheme applications is currently at a preliminary stage, no county breakdown is currently available.
