Over €171m in payments for county Mayo have been received from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine during 2025, according to Fianna Fáil Minister Dara Calleary.
The funding forms part of a €2 billion national package supporting farmers and fishers across the country.
Minister Calleary says the payments are vital for rural and coastal communities and recognise the importance of continued, targeted support for farmers and fishers, particularly in coastal and at-risk areas. These payments are not just financial supports; he says, they are an investment in the future of rural and coastal Ireland.
“Farmers and fishers are under growing pressure from climate change, rising costs and market uncertainty. In marginal and coastal areas, these challenges are intensified by isolation and limited alternative employment. Sustained support is essential to protect livelihoods and community viability.”
