The TAMS II Scheme has been very successful to date in terms of uptake with the number of approvals issued exceeding 11,600.  All of these approvals represent committed expenditure under the TAMS II measure of the Rural Development Programme 2014 - 2020.

Of the applications approved just over 3,000 payment claims have been submitted to date and payments to the value of €31.6m have issued.  The budget for TAMS II over the lifetime of the RDP is €395m.

Payment claims submitted continue to be paid on an ongoing basis.  All participants who have completed approved works have been urged to submit their payment claims as soon as they are in a position to do so to facilitate early payment.

The details of approvals and payments as requested by the Deputy are given below.
