Amharc ar fhreagraA key priority for me and my Department is the efficient issuing of scheme payments to farmers. I know how critical these payments are to our farmers and their businesses. I am very pleased that GLAS 2021 payments commenced a week ahead of our stated target of mid-November.
Processing of the 2021 Advance Payment for the person named are at an advanced stage. Administrative checks involving a number of sections within the Department take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue.
GLAS payments are continuing on a weekly basis as applications pass all validation checks and are approved for payment.
