The scheme was introduced at the start of May in response to the sudden increase in the cost of marked gas oil
The deadline for the Fuel Income Support Scheme has been extended.
Announcing the news was Minister for Agriculture and Kildare South TD, Martin Heydon.
The extension means the closing date is now midnight, on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026.
The scheme opened on May 6th 2026, for farmers and agricultural/forestry contractors in response to the sudden increase in the cost of marked gas oil.
"We have seen a strong response to the Fuel Income Support Scheme among farmers and contractors to date including a large number of applications received over the weekend and the past two days. As I am conscious that farmers will be extremely busy during the current spell of weather, I am extending the deadline for the fuel support scheme. I want to ensure that no one is left behind and that as many farmers and farm contractors as possible have the opportunity to apply", said Minister Heydon.
