Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named was approved into GLAS 3 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2017.

An issue arose regarding a Natura action on the application. This issue has now been resolved. The case will now clear the first stage of the validation checks and will move to the final set of checks this week.  Once the case clears all validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are issuing on a weekly basis.
