The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, T.D, today announced the commencement of payments in respect of claims submitted under the Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3).
Making the announcement, the Minister said:
“Payments totalling almost €1.4 million under the Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) will issue this week, and will continue to issue on a weekly basis as claims are submitted in respect of completed investments. My Department is also continuing to issue approvals across all TAMS 3 schemes. To date, well over 12,000 approvals to commence investments have issued in respect of Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 applications. These will proceed in conjunction with the processing of payment claims on a daily basis.”
Concluding, the Minister advised:
“TAMS has been a hugely successful and beneficial scheme since its inception, with a wide range of investment items supported across all farming sectors. It has delivered key modernisation, environmental and safety improvements on thousands of farms across the country, while also supporting local economies in the construction phase of developments. I would encourage all existing applicants with approvals to submit their payment claims as soon as they are complete.”
