Over €70.5 million has issued to over 8,000 applicants under the scheme, with payments of approximately €2 million continuing to issue on a weekly basis. 'In order to ensure that the available budget is distributed fairly over the remainder of the CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) Strategic Plan, it may be necessary to limit the number of approved applications per tranche going forward by applying ranking and selection criteria, including for the upcoming Tranche 9, which opened on June 7 and will close on September 6,' Minister Heydon said.
