It has been announced that over €5.3 million is to be issued to nearly 8,000 farmers under the 2024 Eco-Scheme.
The commencement of the Eco-Scheme balancing payments will bring the total paid under the scheme since October to €289 million, with 113,625 farmers now in receipt of a payment nationally.
Donegal Minsiter Charlie McConalogue says the aim is to reward farmers for undertaking actions beneficial to the climate, environment, water quality and biodiversity.
