Ireland runs investment support entirely at national level: DAFM is both managing authority for the CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027 and the paying agency; there is no regional layer. The main instrument is TAMS 3 (Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Schemes), split into 11 thematic sub-schemes (solar, young farmers, organic, farm safety, dairy, pig and poultry, tillage, women farmers, nutrient storage, low-emission slurry spreading). TAMS 3 has no one-off calls but recurring quarterly 'tranches': applications are filed continuously through an agfood.ie account and are ranked and selected when each tranche closes. In 2026 tranches close on 6 March, 5 June (extended to 19 June), 4 September and 4 December. Outside TAMS, DAFM publishes annual schemes for commercial horticulture and for horticultural innovation/diversification, plus non-productive environmental investments under ACRES. All calls and press releases are published on gov.ie in the DAFM section.
The DAFM pages consulted do not explicitly state a residence or establishment requirement. The verifiable requirements are territorial in nature: a farm located in Ireland with at least 5 hectares declared under BISS/BPS (15 ha for arable investments, 3 equines for equine ones), a DAFM herd/flock number and an agfood.ie account for online submission. The formal requirement of corporate establishment or tax residence is not verifiable from the open sources consulted.
