"Unprecedented interest" for first TAMS 3 tranche

Approvals will issue by scheme, starting with the Solar Capital Investment Scheme.

All eligible applications for the first round of TAMS 3 will be approved, the Department has confirmed, as it receives the largest-ever number of applications for a single TAMS tranche.

Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue said a total of 8,241 applications were submitted under the latest tranche of the new Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3), adding that it was a reflection of the "huge amount of interest shown among farmers".
