'Strong focus' on dairy investments in next TAMS

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue said he will shortly be announcing the full suite of TAMS options for 2023 to 2027.

€440m for on-farm investments over the period 2021 to 2027 has been budgeted.

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has moved to assure farmers that there “continues to be a strong focus on dairy investments” in the next TAMS (Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme).

Speaking at the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association annual general meeting in Co Limerick on Monday, Mr McConalogue said the third TAMS will have a “strong focus and emphasis” on the environment, as well as farm safety, labour saving, and efficiency, “particularly in the dairy sector”.
