Q: how much of an irish farmers income comes from grant

A: Google AI:  "A significant portion, often over half, of an Irish farmer's income comes from EU grants, primarily through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) schemes like the Basic Income Support for Sustainability (BISS), with figures showing grants making up around 74% of average farm income, and even more for cattle and sheep farms where subsidies can exceed 100% of income, highlighting their critical role in farm viability."
