The indicative allocation for the CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) is set out below. The Plan provides €9.838 billion to support farmers and rural communities. This includes EU CAP funding for Ireland of €7.53 billion over the five-year period from 2023 to 2027. This EU funding is split between Pillar I (Direct Payments and Sectoral Interventions - €5.97 billion) and Pillar II (Rural Development - €1.56 billion). The allocation from the national exchequer to co-fund the Rural Development element of the CSP amounts to €2.30 billion bringing the total to €3.86 billion in respect of the Rural Development component of the Plan. The increased national co-funding of €2.30 billion is a substantial increase on the existing rural development programme, and reflects an increase in co-financing percentage from 43% to 60% over the previous programme.

Many CSP schemes have commenced and others will be rolled out over the course of the programme. I am committed to meeting the liabilities expected to arise from the implementation of the programme over the period. In this regard, I secured funding in Budget 2024 to met the programme liabilities expected to fall due in 2024.
