How much aid is available?
The amount of aid available will vary depending on the size of the herd and the number of animals that are grazed on pastures in high mountain areas. The minimum amount of aid is €1,000, and the maximum amount is €5,000.
How to apply for the aid
Applications for the aid must be submitted to the Department of Agriculture by March 31, 2023. Applicants must submit the following documents:
