1440. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the rationale for there being no facility to make amendments to a TAMS plan post submission to his Department; if he will review this provision with a view to giving flexibility to applicants; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

When an application is submitted to the TAMS II online system it is taken as the full and final application for the scheme.

To ensure a workable system of approval and payment it is not possible for applicants to make amendments after submitting the application. In the case of an obvious administrative error that is discovered before approval, it is possible for the locally based administrative staff to advise the applicants and to allow for changes agreed with the applicant to be made to the online system. Such changes are limited to obvious errors in limited circumstances.
