The Irish government has announced that payments totalling €47.06 million have been issued to participants in the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP).
The scheme, which is designed to improve the environmental sustainability of the national suckler herd, has seen a high level of engagement from farmers across the country.
These payments are part of a broader package of support for the Irish beef sector, with a total of €79 million issued in the past ten days across three different beef-related schemes.
The SCEP payments provide a welcome financial boost to suckler farmers and underscore the government’s commitment to supporting the sector’s transition to more climate-friendly practices.
