Of the approved applicants into tranche three, 6,367 are in Tier 1, 5,575 are in Tier 2 and 634 are in Tier 3.
“A further 1,400 applications require further investigation and this work is on-going,” Minister Creed said.
Delay in payments
There are 6,578 farmers still waiting on GLAS payments, with Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture Andrew Doyle being one of them.
The delays in payments are causing extreme cashflow difficulties on farms around the country.
Minister Creed admitted recently to the Irish Farmers Journal that he could not say when payments will be made and apologised to farmers who are waiting.
