There are a wide variety of items available under the suite of seven measures under TAMS II. To date, total expenditure under the seven measures of the TAMS, including transitional expenditure, has reached in excess of €278m with commitments of an additional €130m made to scheme participants who have yet to draw down those commitments.
The rate of grant aid is set at 40% except in the case of qualified young farmers where the rate of grant aid available to such farmers is increased to 60%. As regards the costings of items available under TAMS, these are subject to regular review and are currently being reviewed. Any changes identified will be considered once this review process has been completed.
