TAMS 3 sub-scheme reserved for young farmers, with an enhanced 60% grant rate across a wide range of on-farm investments (buildings, equipment, machinery, nutrient storage). The investment ceiling is EUR 90,000 per holding, raised to EUR 160,000 for registered farm partnerships with two or more eligible partners; nutrient storage carries a separate ceiling of the same size. Minimum investment is EUR 2,000 per application. Requirements: aged 18-40, set up farming no more than five years ago, ownership or lease of the site, recognised occupational competence. Applications are filed continuously via agfood.ie and enter the ranking of the current tranche.
Young farmers aged 18-40 set up for no more than five years, with at least 5 hectares declared (15 hectares for tillage investments, 3 equines for equine investments) and recognised occupational competence.
Rates, ceilings and eligibility verified on the gov.ie page. The tranche 13 closing date (4 September 2026) is not published on that page: it comes from the 2026 tranche calendar reported by the specialist press and must be re-confirmed with DAFM.
