A Climate Action Performance Payment, totalling €5,000 per hectare will be paid in three instalments to grant aided ash forest owners, who clear their sites and replant through one of the Department’s Ash Dieback Reconstitution Schemes.

My Department has received 280 applications for the first instalment of the Climate Action Performance Payment Scheme since this scheme was launched in August 2024. Of these, none have been disallowed. There are ongoing queries in relation to twelve applications. A total of €2,538,400 has been paid on 268 applications representing 1,015 hectares up to the 4th February 2025.
