Answering a parliamentary question from Éamon Ó CuÍv, Fianna Fáil spokesperson for agriculture, Agriculture Minister Simon Coveneny said that sheep fencing is not a priority for funding under the targeted agricultural modernisation scheme (TAMS).
Ó Cuív asked the Minister the reason for why sheep fencing is not eligible for support, to which the minister replied that the range of investment items included under the various TAMS measures "was informed by the SWOT and needs analyses undertaken as part of the development of the new Rural Development Programme, as well as by an extensive consultation process with the various stakeholders. The funding of sheep fencing did not emerge as a priority from that process." However, the Minister added he will keep the matter under review.
