Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 June 2023
495. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if consideration has been given increasing the maximum funding ceiling for the tillage capital investment scheme under TAMS II; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30581/23]
View answerThe TAMS II scheme closed in December 2022. The TAMS 3 scheme opened on the 22nd February 2023 and provides funding for capital investments on farms and will be in place for five years. Under TAMS 3, the ceiling for investment for the Tillage Capital Investment Scheme (TCIS) was reset and increased to €90,000 per holding for the duration of the scheme. This means every farmer who benefited under TAMS II can reapply in full under TAMS 3.
There are no plans to increase the investment ceiling available for TCIS under TAMS 3 in 2023.
