Replying to a parliamentary question from Fianna Fáil agriculture spokesman Charlie McConalogue, Minister Creed said the prepayment checking process is currently under way for the first full year of GLAS I and GLAS II contract payments.
"This is with a view to commencing payment of the first instalment representing 85% of total payment due before the end of 2016," he said.
This week, Minister Creed said given the large volume of applications being created by applicants, he would urge them to adopt "higher priority environmental actions that will promote them from tier three to a higher tier, thus increasing their chances of selection into the scheme".
