Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015.

All scheme year payments have been processed for this case. However, the Department has undertaken a review of 2015 and 2016 GLAS scheme year payments and has identified a small number of cases due an additional payment. In this case an additional payment is due in relation to the Low Input Permanent Pasture action (LIPP). The functionality to enable these payments to issue is currently being finalised.
