Farmers are invited to attend a series of public in person meetings relating to Ireland’s draft CAP Strategic Plan for the period Jan 1st 2023 – Dec 31st 2027.
The information sessions will take place at 11 venues across the country with one webinar on 15th March also planned to facilitate those who wish to attend online.
The webinar will be recorded and made available online later.
Department staff will provide information to farmers about the changes that will occur when the new CAP commences in 2023.
In particular, the information sessions will cover direct payments including entitlements, active farmer checks, agricultural activity and land eligibility changes, stocking rates, Eco-Schemes, details on the new Agri-Environmental Climate Measure (AECM), organic farming and other important information that farmers need to know now so they can best prepare for 2023.

The Celtic Hotel in Rosscarbery on March 10th and the Talbot Hotel in Clonmel (formerly the Clonmel Park Hotel) on March 14th.
All meetings will take place from 8pm to 9.30pm each evening. Any information provided will be based on the draft plan submitted to the EU Commission and is subject to change up until the CSP is approved by the EU Commission.
