Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The above named was approved into GLAS 3 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2017 and has received all payments in respect of the scheme year 2017.

In relation to payment for 2018, a number of issues have arisen in relation to the Traditional Hay Meadow, Protection of Watercourses from Bovines and the Hen Harrier Actions. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue. The case is being worked on by Department officials. Once this case clears validations the 2018 advance payment will be made. GLAS 2018 advance payments are issuing on a weekly basis.
