Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
1193. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of ACRES recipients in each county; the number within each county who received their payments in November and December 2023; the number in each county whose payments were delayed until 2024, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56519/23]
View answerAgri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme (ACRES) payments commenced on December 15th, with payment issuing in the initial payment run to two-thirds of all ACRES General participants. This first ACRES pay run included all ACRES General participants that have cleared payment validations. Co-operation advance payments will begin to issue in February 2024.
Pay runs will continue in the coming weeks for the remaining ACRES General participants. Cases are still being run through validation programs on an ongoing basis and will be paid as they pass the validation process.
