GLAS payment applications increase

GLAS payments are now being issued to thousands of farmers countrywide, Agriculture, Food and Marine Minister, Simon Coveney, has announced.

He said this was another milestone for the roll-out of GLAS, one of the most attractive agri-environment schemes ever offered to Irish farmers.

“Interest in the second tranche of GLAS has again exceeded expectations, with over 14,000 applications submitted,” he said.
