Commonage Management Plans are a core requirement for participants with a commonage GLAS action, within the GLAS scheme. I would encourage any GLAS applicant with outstanding obligations, such as the finalisation of a Commonage Management Plan to speak to their Advisor and ensure that this work is completed as a priority. Without the submission of all the required information, these applicants will remain ineligible for further GLAS payments. A number of cases remain ineligible for payment as the GLAS participant and/or their Advisor need to take action. A dedicated email address glascommonages@agriculture.gov.ie has been set up to support GLAS Commonage Advisors on any questions they may have, a guide to the completion of a GLAS Commonage Management Plan is also available on the DAFM website and the GLAS helpline is available 0761 064451.
