Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The number of participants who have received their 15% balancing payment and who have been cleared for payment is set out in the table.

All GLAS participants must submit a nutrient management plan before their balancing payment can be released and to date 18,400 have complied with this requirement and some 18,250 are still awaited.

Balancing payments continue to be made on an on-going basis as files are cleared.
