The person named submitted a grant aid application for a roller on 8 July 2024 under the Young Farmer Capital Investment Scheme (YFCIS), which is a measure under the Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3).

My Department issued an approval letter to proceed with the investment on 28 November 2024 and a claim for payment was subsequently received on 11 February 2025. Following an inspection on 11 April 2025 it was noted that an updated farm safety certificate in respect of the applicant was required to progress the payment claim. This was communicated to the applicant's advisor on 28 April. Once this certificate is submitted, my Department will be in a position to finalise the payment claim.
