The total profiled expenditure for 2014 for REPS is €123m and for AEOS is €61m and it is expected that the entire allocation for these Schemes will be spent in 2014. The budgetary process for 2015 is currently underway and the allocation of monies for REPS and AEOS will be decided as part of that process. There is no intention to cut scheme payments for the remaining REPS 4 participants and it is also the intention to ensure that the AEOS allocation will likewise meet the scheme commitments for 2015.
