The scheme has proved to be highly successful since it opened for online applications in mid-2015, with in excess of €434.5 million paid under TAMS II, which closed to applications on 16th December 2022.
TAMS 3 was launched in 2023, with Tranches 1 and 2 of the scheme receiving over 17,000 applications under ten specific measures linked to climate, environment or animal welfare objectives.
