Department of Agriculture to hold farmer clinic in Tipperary next month
A BISS Farmer Clinic will take place on Tuesday, 6 May in the Minella Hotel, Clonmel from 10am - 4.30pm.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine will hold an in-person Farmer Clinic to assist Tipperary farmers in making their applications online for the Basic Income Support for Sustainability (BISS) and other area-based schemes.
The clinic will take place in Clonmel on Tuesday, May 6.
The BISS Farmer Clinics will take place from 10am to 4.30pm and staff from the Department will provide one-to-one support to assist farmers to submit their scheme applications well in advance of the closing date of 15 May 2025. These clinics have proved very popular in past years with farmers.
Speaking on the clinics, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Martin Heydon, TD, said: “These clinics have been exceptionally popular in recent years and offer an opportunity for farmers to engage directly with officials from my Department. We have excellent advisors to support farmers in making their BISS applications, but where farmers are not in a position to engage an advisor the clinics are an excellent means of ensuring that the BISS application is submitted correctly and on-time.”
In total, 16 Farmer Clinics are scheduled (see full list below or at www.gov.ie/agriculture/events) and offer an opportunity for farmers to be supported by Department staff in making a range of applications related to area-based support schemes, such as BISS. These clinics are particularly useful for farmers who do not have an FAS approved advisor to assist them with their application.
