The persons named applied for grant aid under Tranche 7 of the Young Farmers Capital Investment Scheme of TAMS II on 20 June 2017. Tranche 7 closed for applications on 30 June 2017.

All applications received in a given tranche must be checked to ensure that all administrative issues are in order. This is currently under way for all applications in Tranche 7. Once this process is complete a ranking and selection 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. The applicant will be notified of the decision in due course.
