Tams application

If it's to claim payment you may have to send in health and safety course details to local.TAMs office. There may be something else as well

On my approval letter for the generator it says cert3. Which is ETCI completion certificate AND supplementary electrical agricultural certification

Do you use Agfood yourself? If so then applying for a head gate and scoop will only take you a few minutes.

If you’re applying for crush, gates, concrete etc then it’s a bit more detailed and you’ll need to do up yard drawings but nothing that you wouldn’t do in an hour or 2 some evening.

Skulling gate and back gate are valued at €565 and head scoop at €455 so €1,020 in total. A clipex gate will cost more than that but you only get the grant on the reference cost. Under the farm safety section you’ll get 60% of the reference costs so €612.

There’s not too many evenings you could sit at the kitchen table for half an hour max and earn €612!

2800 sounds cheap. Which one did you get?

looking for a bit of help.

I’m ready to submit my application for Tams payment but can’t find my farm safety certificate. I know I definitely did it and have searched my emails but no joy.

Any suggestions of providers that might have ran it that I could follow up. It was on line.

and that’s what I thought. But apparently not. In any case the cert needs to be uploaded for the payment and I don’t have it.

this is my first claim.

That’s it in a nutshell.

Generally the people that’ll tell you a shed will be cheaper without the grant are the people that never bothered applying for the grant and it’s like they’re trying to convince themselves they were right. Most shed’s are very simple steel structures with sheeting on them. The only way to save 40% is to downsize the steel and use poor quality sheeting because the labour will be pretty much the same either way.

Even if you’re over the limit for tams and are building a shed I’d still be going as near to grant spec as you could.

can I get a tru test scales display for sheep weighing scales on tams. I know it says equipment but doesn’t mention the scales as a separate item.

How do you mean the balance was a week late. Was it that you paid it late, the receipts were dated late.

It's one of the things the department will reject over tgey have no choice. If you had paid by cheque if it was late you would get away with it as it AFAIK.

I have found the TAMS staff very helpful even though a bit slow at times. They allow you to correct claims and applications for certain errors like photos, maps etc
