The new Direct Payment Regulation governs the implementation of the new regime for the period 2015 to 2019. During this period Ireland will receive a fixed annual amount of funds that will constitute our national ceiling under Pillar I for each year of the scheme as follows;
| 2014 | €1,216,547,000 |
|---|---|
| 2015 | €1,215,003,000 |
| 2016 | €1,213,470,000 |
| 2017 | €1,211,899,000 |
| 2018 | €1,211,482,000 |
| 2019 | €1,211,066,000 |
A provisional figure for the national ceiling for the year 2020 is €1,211,066,000. The total amount for the period 2015 to 2020 is €8,490,533,000.
