The Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) provides support to any farmer, regardless of their farming enterprise, to purchase backup generators.

I am actively examining the extent to which existing investment items that are eligible for support under TAMS 3 may be suitable in the context of the response to Storm Éowyn. I am also considering whether there may be other suitable investment items that may be included in TAMS 3 over the longer term, although this will in turn be dependent on the availability of the required funding.
