The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue T.D, has today confirmed that all eligible applications submitted under Tranche 3 of TAMS 3 will receive approval.
Making the announcement, the Minister said:
“I am delighted with the high number of applications received under Tranche 3 of TAMS 3, which closed for applications last Friday, 12 April. A total of 3,802 applications were received across the ten available TAMS 3 measures. I am very pleased to confirm that all eligible applications received in this Tranche will be approved.”
The Minister also took the opportunity to confirm the closing dates for the remaining tranches of TAMS 3 that will be undertaken in 2024. He said:
“Work is continuing at pace on the approval of Tranche 1 and 2 applications, and this will be followed by the processing of this latest significant batch of applications received under Tranche 3. I am therefore announcing today that Tranche 4, which is effectively now open, will close for applications on Friday 6 September, and Tranche 5 will close on Friday 6 December 2024. This provides clarity for farmers on the plans for the remainder of this year, and will ensure that they and their advisors have the required time to complete applications.”
The Minister concluded:
‘‘Over the years, TAMS has been and continues to be a hugely successful and beneficial scheme. I believe the measures now available across all ten schemes in TAMS 3 ensure that funding is targeted where it is needed most. It has delivered key modernisation, environmental and safety improvements on thousands of farms, while at the same time supporting local economies during the construction phase of developments.’’
