There are currently 48,897 active participants in the GLAS scheme. To date, 46,435 farmers have received their 2018 advance payment and are fully up to date with their payments. In addition, GLAS Plus payments have also been paid to 3,194 GLAS farmers. Including GLAS Plus this amounts to over €167m paid in 2018 advances since November 14th.

The majority of outstanding 2018 payments are being delayed due to issues, such as the non-submission of Commonage Management Plans, where the mandatory GLAS training has not been completed, Low Emission Slurry Spreading and Rare Breeds forms not returned or cases where the GLAS participant has omitted to update the Department on issues crucial to the payment process.

My Department is working closely with GLAS farmers and their advisors to ensure that payments issue to compliant farmers as quickly as possible. 

GLAS payments will continue to issue on a weekly basis. The breakdown of advance 2018 payments to date by county is listed in the following table for GLAS1, 2 and 3:
