Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, has announced that the 2022 GLAS Advance payments have commenced. Just under €113 million in advance payments will be made this week to just under 32,600 farmers who are participating in the GLAS Scheme.
Commenting on the payments the Minister said:
“I am very pleased that my department is commencing these GLAS Advance payments to just under 32,600 farmers. The payments this week will issue to 74.8% of GLAS participants and will reach farmers' bank accounts in the coming days.
“Issuing payments to farm families in a rapid manner is a key priority of mine and I am proud of our track record in this space. These payments are an important income boost to farmers at this time of year and, of course, are a recognition of their significant contribution to the environmental achievements in the GLAS scheme."
The Minister added:
“Today’s payment of just under €113 million brings the total payments made to date under GLAS to €1.29 billion. This investment will be surpassed in the incoming ACRES scheme where I have secured €1.5 billion for this flagship environmental scheme."
Payments will continue to issue in outstanding cases on a regular basis. The Minister encouraged any farmers with queries in relation to GLAS to direct them by email to GLAS@agriculture.gov.ie
