The information requested by the Deputy is collated by my Department annually for inclusion in the Statistical Information on Social Welfare Services report which is laid before the Dáil when published and copies lodged in the Oireachtas library. Furthermore these reports are available to the public at www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Annual-Statistical-Information-Reports.aspx. I enclose for the Deputy’s convenience a tabular statement detailing the number of persons in receipt of farm assist at 31 December in each of the years 2008 to 2012.
