Amharc ar fhreagraA GLAS 2 application for the person named was received on the GLAS online system on the 29 November 2015. The Low Input Permanent Pasture (part parcel) and Traditional Hay Meadow (part parcel) actions were not in accordance with the scheme Terms and Conditions and were deemed ineligible. Without these actions the application failed to meet the minimum qualifying score of 16.5 and was therefore not selected for the Scheme.

The first payment due to GLAS 3 participants is in respect of the 2017 scheme year and these payments will commence towards the end of the year.
