#GLAS 1&2 update : Payments over € 1.1 million have now issued to 323 farmers
Three protests have taken place around the country in the past few days over the delays.

A Department spokesperson told the Irish Farmers Journal this week that "payments will continue to be processed on an ongoing basis".
