Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

My Department is aware of the fact that, in a limited number of cases, details of individual GLAS applications are not yet visible when they log onto the Department's on-line BPS applications facility.

Staff in my Department are aware of this issue and it is expected that it will be resolved shortly.
