Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney faces a budgetary black hole of up to €180m if the EU Commission proceeds with plans to fine Ireland for CAP over payments dating back to 2008. The Department of Agriculture has confirmed that Ireland faces a ‘flat rate financial correction’ on close to €9bn in EU payments for the 2008-2012 period. The move by Brussels could result in a €90-180m fine on Ireland for over-claims in area-based CAP schemes. Farm organisations have vowed to fight any moves to foist the fine on farmers in the shape of cuts to the Single Farm Payment. Also: Many sheep and suckler farmers are earning less from the land than they would on the dole, claimed the leader of the ICSA, Patrick Kent. The average income for suckler farmers in the latest Teagasc national farm survey is €9,594 – lower than the basic social protection payment of €9,777 per annum for a single person. ‘Sheep farming is only slightly better at €11,178’ said Mr Kent.
