Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2023
929. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine with regard to the announced 70% TAMS grant for slurry storage facilities, if consideration has been given to providing a rebate for transport of slurry as part of the grant; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47992/23]
View answerThe Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) provides grants to farmers to build and/or improve a specified range of farm buildings and equipment on their holdings. I wish to advise that On Farm Capital Investments is included as a measure under the current CAP Strategic Plan to provide support for capital investments on farms. Any operational support for transport cannot be included in the proposed grant aid as it is outside the remit of TAMS.
