Advance 85% payments under new Sheep Welfare Scheme start going out this week to eligible farmers.
Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed said: “A total of €16m will issue to some 20,000 farmers.”
He said the payments started on time and urged farmers with outstanding queries to respond to the Department immediately to facilitate payment.
Advance payments will continue to issue in November as eligibility is confirmed, he said. Balancing payments will be made in 2018.
“Year two of the scheme will be opening in the coming weeks,” Minister Creed said.
The scheme pays €10 per ewe to farmers for undertaking actions which boost flock welfare.
