Payment issued to almost 27,400 farmers on the 29 December 2016. On the 1 January 2017 some 10,100 files remained to be processed and this work has been completed in respect of 2,736 cases leaving 7,357 cases to be processed.
Department officials are working through all outstanding cases on an individual basis with the intention of processing payments which meet all required regulatory requirements as soon as possible.

All GLAS applications must pass regulatory controls and validations before payment can issue. Following the initial GLAS payments which issued on the 29 December 2016 the priority was to assess remaining files and clear them for payment in a systematic manner. The first payrun in 2017 issued on 27 January 2017 and details of 2017 payments issued are set out in the following table.
| GLAS Payrun week ending: 27 January 2017 | GLAS Payrun week ending: 27 January 2017 | GLAS Payrun week ending: 3 February 2017 | GLAS Payrun week ending: 3 February 2017 | GLAS Payrun week ending: 10 February 2017 | GLAS Payrun week ending: 10 February 2017 | |
