To date, BEAM payments amount to €77.7m.
Finished animals attract a payment of €100/head, while suckler cows will be paid €40/head under the scheme.
Minister for Agriculture Dara Calleary said the objective of BEAM is to “provide temporary exceptional adjustment aid to farmers in the beef sector” in Ireland.
“BEAM is funded by a combination of EU aid and Exchequer support, provided in light of the difficult circumstances that Irish beef farmers have been facing, as a result of market volatility and uncertainty,” he said.
