IFA predicts €1m up for distribution from Single Payment reserve
National Livestock Committee chairman Michael Doran said 276 applicants in 2010 were successful in obtaining entitlements to the value of €850,453 from the reserve, worth an average of €3,081 each. A number of cases are still to be finalised.
Following a meeting of the Single Payment Advisory Committee in the Department of Agriculture last week, he said the committee is recommending two national reserve categories, as in previous years.
