The detailed consideration of Ireland’s Draft Rural Development Programme (RDP) by the EU Commission is now at an advanced stage and the new Green Low-Carbon Agri-Environment Scheme (GLAS) is a key component of that Programme. I intend to open GLAS as soon as agreement is reached with the EU Commission.
