I propose to take Questions Nos. 273 to 275, inclusive, together.

The Rural Development Programme 2014 – 2020 is co-funded by the EUs Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and the national exchequer. EU support for the RDP via the EAFRD amounts to an aggregate sum of €2.19 billion over the 7-year programme lifespan. This EU funding will be supplemented by exchequer funding bringing the total allocation to some €4 billion. My Department is currently compiling the detailed breakdown of the allocation and of expenditure as requested by the Deputy and will forward this information directly to him.
