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 tabular form.

All GLAS participants must submit a nutrient management plan (NMP) before their balancing payment can be released and to date 25,820 have complied with this requirement.

Balancing payments continue to be made on an on-going basis when the NMP is submitted.
