The Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) has said the decision to raise the 60% Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Schemes (TAMS) grant aid age limit to 66
SHARING OPTIONS:
Advisers were informed at a recent Department of Agriculture Farm Advisory Services training event that the Department’s TAMS section is awaiting approval for the go-ahead for tranche 22.
Approvals have started to commence under tranche 20 of TAMS II, which closed on 15 January 2021. Files have been sent back to local offices which will then notify applicants if they have been successful in gaining approval.
The timing is important as the deadline for tranche 21 is approaching fast on Friday 16 April.
Applicants who have not been successful under tranche 20 will be keen to receive word early so that they have the option of withdrawing their application, changing it to improve their selection criteria marking and resubmitting it.
