The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below.

These figures include direct payments to farmers under various schemes as well as grant funding to local authorities and other organisations on a range of measures. Please note that the bulk of payments are made late in each year, which is why the figure for 2022 appears low when compared to previous years.
