Applications under the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) are completed online via agfood.ie. The online application facility takes in approx. 130,000 applications annually. Eligible applications are processed promptly for payment. The application facility opens mid-February annually and closes mid-May.
BPS payments begin each year with an advance payment mid-October and a balancing payment the first week in December. The efficient issuing of Scheme payments to farmers continues to be a key priority for my Department. The information requested is outlined in the tables below.
