lanod2407

Apologies if I'm going back over old ground - haven't been online for a while and haven't seen any updates on GLAS - when are we due to know if people have been accepted into the first round of GLAS?

same here it's been up for over a week but still no official confirmation from Dept

lanod2407

Saw mine there also - wonder if they're all up there - does it mean anything just because it's there?
Come on Coveney and get your finger out - we should have heard in Sept!

GLAS mapping is holding up my basic payment :mad:

Spoke to my planner yesterday and she said that the dept are only starting to send out the approvals today .......... delay after delay after delay!

I hope they dont still expect us to have actions completed to original deadlines, as their delays have had a knock on effect planning for Glas work.

Just called the single payment unit - mine is held up for satellite inspection. Apparently there are 8.5k payments held for satellite inspection, and up to now only 4.5k have been completed. It was contracted out to a private company, and taking a long time. I was told to call back in 2 weeks .........

Charliebull

call them up and they will tell you
i have been accepted

GLAS acceptance received this morning - proving that it is actually much better late than never!!! :rolleyes:

Qprmeath

Got accepted too. Speaking to a neighbour who was also accepted hes beginning to wonder is it worth the hassle?

When are the GLAS payments due?

Qprmeath

No idea whats happening. As I said above is it worth the hassle? My plan brought me close to the 5k mark I thought but if payments are reduced as expected cant see much point in it for the effort required.

It was supposed to be December but nobody knows when payments are made anymore but you can be nearly sure that they will be made late.

I thought that was the way it was meant to work as well, however aeos have docked the final 3 months payments from me, and given me a October start glas date, but no glas money received here either.

Have got no replies to any of the payment sections from my emails, do they even respond to a small farmer email address or is it only the farm advisor etc

Green farmer

Lads, I've to take back the giving out I done about the department. Got through to them, and the lady I spoke to was extremely helpful and couldn't have been nicer. She promised to have a look at my file and ring me back..... Which she did. Told me what needed to be straightened out and told me she could do it from her side. So credit where credit is due. My faith is restored in the department !!

I'm in same boat here

lanod2407

Just called the number on the website - 0761 064451 - and got through straight away.
Was told that my BPS payment had been held up for satellite inspection, and when that's cleared up the GLAS payment for Oct-Dec 2015 will be paid.

I know it's sorted since last week Dec, so there's another GLAS payment run end January, and it should be in that.

ganmo

anyone know when they're going to send out the Glas plans?

going to be hard to get the stuff done by the end of march if we don't have the plan

What are you on about, it was you and your planner that sent the plans into the department. Its all the same if you don't know whats on them

ganmo

I thought we were ment to get an approved plan sent out to us
I have something here with 'draft plan' plastered all over it but doesn't say where on each parcel the actions are to be taken, dad did it and he can't remember exactly

ps i read the T&c's again and spotted

11.4.
The cost of non-productive capital investments will be repaid to a participant in equal instalments over five full calendar years. Farmers must keep such records as the Department prescribes

does this mean we can claim certain costs back off the dept?

Think you're quite off the mark there Cuban - the approved plan will include required actions and deadline dates that need to be met.
