My Department's €240 million European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) Programme 2014-2020 has over recent years been the principal source of public funding for the sustainable development of our fisheries, aquaculture and seafood processing sectors and has been co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union.

As it comes to its conclusion, the list of beneficiaries under the various schemes continues to be published on an ongoing basis as required by the EU Regulation 1303/2013 at the link below, with the county of each beneficiary detailed. Beneficiaries are listed on 6 different tabs based on the six Union priorities set out in Article 6 of the EMFF Regulation (508/2014). The final tab details Technical Assistance spending which facilitates delivery of the Operational Programme.

Supports to fishers can be found on the Union Priority 1 (UP1) tab, with supports to processors mainly located on the UP5 tab and some also located on the UP1 tab. To be aware that the spreadsheet details the amount of EU funding received by each beneficiary in column H. As supports to fishers and processors are co-funded under the EMFF on a 50/50 basis with exchequer funds, the total funding received by those beneficiaries will be twice the "Amount of EU contribution" figure detailed in column H. Individual fishers' names are redacted in line with data protection guidance.
