The provision in the 2015 estimates for REPS, AEOS and GLAS and the spend to date is outlined in the table below.

Scheme Estimate Provision for 2015 Spend to Date
REPS €47.55 m €25.57 m
AEOS2 €71 m €29.21 m
GLAS €20 m €0

There is no significant variation in relation to the projected spending profile for any of the three Schemes to date. As in previous years the bulk of 2015 Agri-Environment scheme payments will be made towards the end of the calendar year.
