€600,000 in GLAS+ balancing payments issue to farmers

These payments represent the final 15% of the 2022 GLAS+ payment and complete the total payment for GLAS actions undertaken in 2022. 

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue said this cohort of GLAS participants "have undertaken exceptional environmental commitments and are rewarded under GLAS with an additional annual payment of up to €2,000 in respect of 2022". 

Balancing payments under GLAS+ have commenced to farmers this week.

This announcement means that almost €600,000 in balancing payments have been made to over 2,831 participants in the Green Low-Carbon Agri-Environment Scheme (GLAS).
