ICMSA calls for TAMS project payments split

The TAMS grant scheme has led to unexpected cash flow issues for farmers, and a system of split payments for TAMS projects distinct investments would resolve the issue, according to ICMSA, writes Stephen Cadogan.

ICMSA’s Farm and Rural Affairs Committee Chairman, Patrick Rohan, said farmers in general would have submitted one application for TAMS that includes a number of distinct and separate investments on their farm. They must complete all the investments applied for before any TAMS payment is made.
