SHARING OPTIONS:
A Department of Agriculture spokesperson said it would be carefully examining the options that are available to Ireland.
Officials in the Department of Agriculture will seek the views of farm organisations and agricultural advisers before making any decision on whether off-farm income should be taken into account for farm payments.
The Department pledged to discuss the issue with the direct payments advisory committee before a decision is made.
The Department was responding to questioning by Macra na Feirme members in a recent webinar on the next CAP.
Ted Massey, an agricultural inspector with the Department and also a member of its CAP consultative committee, was asked if off-farm income would affect payments in the next CAP and also if there was any prospect of the €40,000 off-farm income limit being removed for national reserve applicants.
