The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed, has announced that a number of online clinics will be provided by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
It is hoped the clinics – which will be hosted nationwide – will help eligible farmers to fill out the online application for the Beef Exceptional Aid Measure (BEAM).
In the run up to the closing date – which Minister Creed has extended – the minister said: “In recent years, my department has put in place online clinics around the country where farmers can meet one to one with a member of staff and make their application there and then.
“These clinics proved very popular with farmers for BPS, and I am happy to announce that the same service is being extended for BEAM.”
