The person named submitted an application for grant-aid under the Young Farmers Capital Investment Scheme on 07 April 2017. This is Tranche 6 of the scheme.  All applications received in a given tranche have to be checked to ensure that all administrative issues are in order. Once this process is complete a ranking and selection process is carried out and all eligible applications within the available tranche budget are sent to the local office for final technical appraisal before approvals issue.  It should be noted that the submission of an application to the TAMS II scheme does not mean automatic approval. This process is currently underway for the applications received in Tranche 6.
