TAMS II is a demand-led scheme and, due to the level of applications received in the most recent tranches, not all applications received under each tranche can be immediately approved. As provided for under the Scheme terms and conditions, a proportion of applications have been rolled over for future consideration based on a ranking and selection process.

The person named submitted an application under the Dairy Equipment Scheme on 24 March 2020. The selection cut off mark under the Tranche for this measure was 46.27. The application did not reach this point as the application scored 41.02.

It is open to unsuccessful applicants to withdraw an application and submit a new application. The applicant in this case has availed of this option and submitted a new application on 27 August 2020 under Tranche 19 which will be considered in due course.
