Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has overseen the processing of 47,474 GLAS 2018 advance payments since 2018 payments commenced last November. This represents over 97% of scheme participants. The bulk of remaining cases have an outstanding issue on the participant's side. My Department continues to work with both farmers and their advisors to ensure that issues are resolved and outstanding payments are made as quickly as possible
The following table outlines the number of farmers in Roscommon and Galway actively participating in GLAS that have received a payment in respect of the 2018 scheme year.
