What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Minister of State Alan Dillon announced that the Rural Dweller pilot scheme will double its national places from 250 to 500 starting in January 2027, following Budget 2027. This expansion is part of a broader effort to increase support for farmers and fishers in the new year. The Rural Social Scheme, which the pilot widens access to, provides income support for low-income farmers and fisherpersons who are underemployed in their primary occupation.
