The Young Farmers' Installation Scheme was closed to new applicants on 14 October 2008 and I have no plans to reopen the Scheme at this time. An allocation of almost €1 million has been provided in this year's Estimates to meet the remaining commitments under both the Young Farmers' Installation Scheme and the preceding equivalent schemes.

While NUTS 1 equates to the National position, payment statistics are more readily available on a national/county basis, rather than a NUTS basis. The tabular statement shows the present payments position, on a county basis.
