2017 Nitrates Derogation Applications- Department announces extension to closing date for submission

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine today announced an extension to the closing date for submission of 2017 Nitrates Derogation applications.

The decision to extend the closing date to Thursday 13th April 2017 was taken in light of the significant interest in new Derogation applications.

Nitrates Derogation applications can only be submitted online using the Department’s on-line facilities. Farmers not already registered for agfood.ie can do so by logging onto www.agfood.ie and clicking the 'Register' button.

The Nitrates Derogation documentation is available on the Department’s website at http://www.agriculture.gov.ie/ruralenvironment/environmentalobligations/nitrates/nitratesderogation/2017derogationforms/
