I propose to take Questions Nos. 3427 and 3428 together.

The information requested by the Deputy is not available. The Basic Payment Scheme is paid based on Payment Entitlements and provides a direct income support to Irish farmers to underpin their continued sustainability and viability. The Basic Payment Scheme does not distinguish between full-time or part-time farmers or by farming type.
