There are no plans to reintroduce installation aid for young farmers. Young Farmers are catered for within the new TAMS schemes whereby they can avail of an increased grant rate of 60% compared to the standard rate of 40% for a range of investment items which will help them to meet the capital costs associated with the establishment of their enterprises.
