Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion

Mr. John Enright:

There is an issue in regard to the TAMS scheme. If I am one day short of the legal requirement, I cannot qualify for grant aid. For example, if I want to go from 16 weeks to 20 weeks, I cannot qualify if I am one day short of the 16 weeks. It is an anomaly that needs to be resolved because the benefits of resolving that anomaly will be significant.
