Ireland’s execution of the EAFRD 2014-2020 RDP to date is one of the highest in Europe. 92% of the approved €2.1b existing EAFRD financial plan has been executed to date in comparison to an EU average to date of 69%.

The Department has executed 95% of the existing EAFRD funding allocation of €2.033b ( excl Leader) with the remaining existing funds fully committed.

We are awaiting EU approval of an amended EAFRD which will incorporate additional funding of €880m provided under transitional arrangements, bringing the overall EAFRD 2014-2022 envelope to €3.07b.

Details requested are attached.
