Budget doubled to €16m for National Liming Programme
The liming programme was introduced by the Department of Agriculture earlier this year to incentivise the use of lime, to correct soil acidity, make nutrients more available for plant uptake, and improve overall soil health.
The budget for the National Liming Programme 2023 has been doubled to €16m.
This is in response to the large number of applicants to the scheme, which had originally been allocated €8m in Budget 2023.
