Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of persons that joined the first and second tranche of the green low carbon agri environment scheme that are eligible for GLAS plus payments; the estimated average payment that will be due to each eligible person for GLAS plus payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested by the Deputy is not currently available. To establish eligibility for GLAS+, actions included in all applications must first be verified and this occurs following the calculation of the basic scheme payment for each application each year.
The current priority is the processing of outstanding basic scheme payments to which my Department has committed all available resources, after which 2016 GLAS+ entitlement will be established and payment processed.
