O’ Donovan welcomes AEOS 3 deadline extension
Added January 17th, 2013
Limerick Fine Gael TD Patrick O’ Donovan was welcomed the decision to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney TD to extend the closing date for receipt of AEOS applications until Friday December 7th.
“I am delighted that the Minister has decided to extend the closing date for applications for AEOS 3, particularly in light of the high levels of interest being expressed in the scheme. The decision to extend the deadline date will allow farmers and planners alike to submit applications on time”.
The scheme is broadly similar to last year’s scheme, has annual funding of €20 million available and is open to all farmers other than those currently participating in either AEOS 1 or 2 or those farmers who will remain in REPS 4 beyond 2012.
“I would appeal to any farmer wishing to avail of the scheme to ensure that all necessary documentation is submitted with applications directly to Johnstown Castle, Wexford before the 7th December”.
