The above named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of January 1 2016.

The Department deemed the participant not to have complied with the terms and conditions and accordingly rejected the application from the scheme.  The participant subsequently appealed this decision.  The appeal was partially successful.

The case has been listed for re-instatement and is being progressed by the Department. Once complete, GLAS payments will issue. GLAS payments are currently issuing on a weekly basis.

The person named was approved into GLAS 3 with a contract commencement date of 1 January  2017.

In line with the requirements set out in the GLAS 3 Terms and Conditions, GLAS 3 nutrient management plans (NMP) were required to be submitted by 31 March 2018. This requirement has not been met in this case and until it is submitted, the person named is considered ineligible for a payment.  They should speak immediately to their advisor to have the NMP submitted.

Once the NMP is submitted to the online NMP system operated by Teagasc and the case clears the required validation checks the 2017 advance payment will issue.  GLAS payments are issuing on a weekly basis.

The above named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016 and has received all payments in respect of the 2016 scheme year.

Administrative checks involving a number of sections within the Department take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue. Department officials are working proactively to complete the checks in this case. Once this case clears validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are being made on a weekly basis.
