The calculation requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below, based on the 2010 SPS payment database used by my Department to model CAP reform proposals.

Flat rate payment on land greater than 25 ha, if a payment of €350/ha paid on first 25 ha

2010 SPS Payment total
€1,247,527,160
less payment for first 25 ha of each farm @€350 per ha
€914,490,518
Balance of 2010 SPS payment €
€333,036,643
Remaining Land (in excess of 25 ha per farm) ha
2,104,730
Flat Rate for land in excess of 25 ha (balance of payment divided by remaining land)
€158
