TAMS is a demand-led scheme which has been amended over the years to widen the support available to farmers. In TAMS, production units may be used in the case of intensive production systems such as Pig, Poultry, or Horticulture enterprises.
As a general rule, eligible farmers with horses, cattle or sheep may apply for TAMS if they meet the requirement of having submitted a BPS application for a minimum area of five hectares. Full details of the suite of seven measures available under TAMS are available on the Department's website.
No final decision has been made in relation to the interventions to be included in the CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) (2023-2027). To allow for the submission of the draft CSP by 1st January 2022, the Department are currently inviting members of the public and stakeholders to make written submissions or observations in respect of the draft CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027 and associated Environmental Report and Natura Impact Statement, further details of which can also be found on my Department's website.
