It is proposed that additional supports for health and safety measures will be available under the new Capital Investment Scheme from 2023 onwards.

Submissions for changes to TAMS were sought last year and all changes requested have been considered when drafting the new schemes and finalising the Investment list.

Changes to the support for capital investments including health and safety investments are subject to a Rural Development Plan (RDP) amendment and Commission approval. This is currently under preparation. Once the RDP amendment is approved, grant rates and terms and conditions relating to schemes can be finalised and published.
