I propose to take Questions Nos. 187 and 190 together.
The number of farmers that completed their AEOS3 contracts in 2018 is 2,138. This was the final year of the AEOS scheme.
All AEOS participants were given the option of joining the GLAS scheme should they have wished to do so. The GLAS scheme is now fully subscribed with GLAS 3 participants in their third year of participation in the five year GLAS scheme.
