Meal bins are currently grant aided under the Organic Capital Investment Scheme of TAMS II. They are also available under the Dairy Equipment Scheme and the Young Farmer Capital Investment Scheme as part of in parlour meal feeding systems. There are no plans currently to extend the availability of meal bins beyond these categories.
