Following the announcement in mid-December of the extension of the deadline, farmers are reminded that applications for tranche 2 of the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS) 3 is January 19.
Advisors and farmers are also reminded that tranche 3 of TAMS 3 will close for applications on Friday, April 12, 2024, as previously advised.
Announcing the extension for tranche 2, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue said it was ‘to facilitate the timely processing of applications received since the tranche opened in July, particularly for those who need to carry out urgent works in early 2024'. The extension acknowledges, he said, ‘concerns expressed by advisors about the time required to fully complete applications currently on hand’.
“I would draw particular attention to the requirement to have the necessary authorisations submitted to my department in a timely manner,” the minister said.
“In this regard, all authorisations should be submitted by advisors by January 5 in order to ensure that applications can, in turn, be fully submitted by the new deadline.”
