A 20% plus cut in the CAP budget for the period 2028-2034 will as it stands lead to cuts to area-based payments while there is currently no system to continue with payment entitlements
Payments of over €4m in the 2025 Straw Incorporation Measure accounted for almost 50% of funds, with payments also made under BISS/CRISS, the Eco scheme and ANC.
This week’s payment brings the number of farmers paid to 87% of all farmers, with a Farmers' Charter of Rights meeting this week told that there will be upwards of 95% of cases paid by mid-January.
Balancing funds for BISS, CRISS and ANC are on their way, with the payments for young farmers also on the way.
There have been no payments under BISS, CRISS and ANC since last week with payment runs for these schemes paused ahead of balancing payments in early December.
Senior Department of Agriculture official accepted that the current proposal on CAP would replace entitlements with a per-hectare payment.
Along with alleged illegal tree felling, the Department is also investigating 27 reports of hedgerow removal.
