Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 July 2018
297. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a breed (details supplied) of native cattle will be included in rare breeds for the GLAS scheme; his views on the proposal; and if approval is required at EU level for same. [29915/18]
View answerThe terms and conditions of the GLAS scheme were agreed and published when the scheme was developed in 2015. The scheme is now fully subscribed and closed to new entrants. It is therefore not possible at this point to amendment the scheme to include an extra breed within the Rare Breeds action. There are no further tranches of the GLAS scheme planned.
