Please find the information requested by the Deputy in the table below. The table below reflects advance payments recently made at a rate of 85% made under Year 4 of the sheep welfare scheme which runs from the 1stof February 2020 to the 31stof January 2021.
I am pleased to confirm that, as part of Budget 2021, I secured an additional €17m to continue the scheme for next year. The fifth year of the scheme will commence on the 1stof February 2021.
