The applicant in question applied in the second tranche of the Young Farmer Capital Investment Scheme of TAMS II for lights, a tank and animal housing. The application has passed the initial administrative checks. All applications that are received in a given tranche have to be examined and are then ranked and selected before approvals take place. The person named submitted a Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of allocation rights with land as transferee. An Official from my Department has been in direct contact with the person named regarding this application and agreement has now been reached with regard to the approach required to finalise the application.
The person named has also submitted applications under the National Reserve and the Young Farmers’ Scheme to my Department. Now that agreement has been reached with regard to the Private Contract Clause application, the National Reserve and Young Farmer Scheme applications can be finalised with a view to payment as soon as possible.
