Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 December 2016
442. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to set out the total number of persons who have enrolled to date in GLAS 3; if he will provide a breakdown between tiers 1, 2 and 3; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40873/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraTo date some 18,000 applications have been created on the GLAS 3 online system. The information requested by the Deputy on the breakdown of applications will not be available until after an assessment has been carried out on all applications submitted to the Scheme when it closes on 15 December 2016.
Given the large volume of applications being created by applicants I would again urge them to adopt higher priority environmental actions that will promote them from Tier 3 to a higher tier, thus increasing their chances of selection into the Scheme.
