648. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will consider extending the deadline for the completion of TAMS projects due to the restrictions of Covid-19 in circumstances in which construction and access to building materials is severely impacted; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy Department introduced changes to the TAMS II scheme deadlines on 1 April 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Flexibility was provided on completion deadlines with a 3 month extension on all projects due to completed (or approvals due to expire) between 1 March and 1 July.
As this is a constantly evolving situation, my Department is monitoring the situation closely and will implement further changes if and when they are needed.
