I propose to take Questions Nos. 375, 376 and 377 together.

The Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS) is a demand-led scheme with a defined budgetary allocation. A budget of €86.9 million was allocated to TAMS in 2025 with a total spend of €86.6 million. Based on the 2025 expenditure, a 10% increase would amount to €8.6 million.

A breakdown of total expenditure across all TAMS schemes in respect of 2025 is outlined in the table below.
