Where are you on the Dept of Ag CAP Beneficiaries Publication site?

The agriculture.gov.ie/cap_ben_results site gives what every farmer in the country received from EU funded schemes.

I'm curious to know the size of the payments received by farmers that visit this site.

The options are:
0 -5,000
5,001 - 10,000
10,001 - 20,000
20,001 - 30,000
> 30,000

I was surprised to see that my father - a part time farmer nearing retirement - got twice as much as my uncle - a full timer. I guess that is down to REPS.

Edit: the poll is anonymous so we won't know who ticks the >30,000 option.

Is every farmer's name who got a payment on the list? my father had me searching it for an hour earlier on looking for his name, also another local farmer isn't on the list either. he's convinced it's my fault and not the dept of agriculture that his name isn't in the database.

Keeperlit Tell that to the department of agriculture!! I'm there and am not happy about it. When your jocks are out in public its better to know what stains are on show!

They seem to have updated the search tool and changed some of the options.

while i agree that the publication is a charter for nosey parkers , like with politicians salarys , tax payers are entitled to know where thier money is going to if they choose to , all public servants salarys should be published aswell on this basis though

As should social welfare payments. Would probably help cut down on fraud.

Quick question is there any tax paid on these CAP payments?

Jesus, around 120 Cork farmers got over €100,000. Only 4 in Clare were over that amount. Some were over €400,000 in Cork.

You could add in - tribunal and free legal aid scheme lawyers, med card scheme doctors, various government appointed consultants and bodies, and many more who receive some form of public money - generally in significantly larger quantities than quoted above

I think doctors income from the medical card scheme is published.
