Questions (1960)
Written answers
The person named has received all GLAS payments due to them under the scheme.
The person named was approved to GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1st October 2015 and a contract end date of 31st December 2020.
In line with the amendment to the RDP 2014-2020, participants in GLAS 1 and 2, with valid GLAS contracts as at 31st December 2020, were given the option to apply to extend their GLAS contract in its entirety for one additional year. The person named was offered a GLAS 2021 Extension on 14th December 2020, outlining the options to them and how to respond.
The person named was given a choice of two application methods, to apply online via AgFood.ie or responding to a text message from the Department. Reminders issued to them by way of both SMS text message and in writing.
No application was received from the person named to extend their contract and they are therefore no longer a participant in GLAS.
