The Department of Agriculture, has paid just under €2 billion to farmers across the State, between September and December 2020, with Kildare farmers receiving €34,540,432.77.
In mid-September payments under 2020 Schemes commenced and, from that date to end of year, a total of almost €1.73 billion was paid out directly to farmers, under a range of schemes operated by this Department.
A breakdown of the total amount paid by scheme can be viewed HERE. There are also details of a breakdown of payments made by county for the main schemes. However, the figures exclude Traditional farm buildings scheme, Hen Harrier, Pearl Mussel Project and European Innovation Partnerships.
