There are currently 48,443 active participants in the GLAS scheme. 97.7% of 2019 scheme year payments have been made to date.
My Department continues to work with both farmers and their advisors to ensure that any issues are resolved, and outstanding payments are made as quickly as possible.
GLAS 2019 scheme year payments (including GLAS plus) to date by county are as follows:
