Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received full entitlements in respect of the 2015 and 2016 scheme years.

The Department is aware of an issue with this case that is preventing the 2017 advance payment being made. The identification of a solution to this issue has been prioritised and it is expected that the payment will be made in the coming weeks.
