TAMS II is a demand-led scheme giving eligible applicants the choice of wide variety of items available under the suite of seven measures. Details of eligibility for all measures are available of my Department's website.
Some 48,022 applications including those belonging to eligible Hill and Natura farmers have been approved under the scheme to date. Approvals continue to issue on an ongoing basis without any undue delays.
Total expenditure to-date under the seven measures of TAMS, including transitional expenditure, has reached in excess of €340m with commitments of an additional €126m made to scheme participants who have yet to draw down those grants.
