Review and protect farm income support schemes

What this means

• This is a government commitment made on 23 January 2025 to review and protect farm income support schemes for family farms in Ireland.[source]
• The commitment sits within the agriculture and marine policy area and is currently listed as in progress with no fixed delivery deadline set.[source]
• It specifically covers reviewing payment rates on farm income support schemes, meaning the amounts farmers receive could change as a result.[source]
• The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine is responsible for delivering this commitment, led by Minister Martin Heydon.[source]
• This matters for accountability because family farm incomes depend on these supports, and the public can track whether the review is completed and rates are protected.[source]
