Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 June 2025
260. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine for a date for the payment of ACRES 2023 and 2024 for a person [details supplied]; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30915/25]
View answerThe person named submitted an application under the ACRES General stream and was approved into Tranche 1 of the scheme, with a commencement date of 1st January 2023. An ACRES interim payment issued to the herd owner in February 2024 in the sum of €4,000.
To date this case has not passed the 2023 payment validations. Department officials are actively working to resolve the issues preventing this case from clearing the required checks as a matter of urgency. A dedicated team has been put in place to complete the outstanding 2023 cases, and resources are being allocated, where required, to ensure that remaining payments are made as soon as possible. Once the payment claim for 2023 is finalised, this case will then progress to validation checks for the 2024 advance payment.
As cases clear validations, they are added to the next scheduled pay run. Pay runs are taking place weekly across all scheme years and tranches. I can assure you that everything is being done to pay, as soon as possible, all ACRES participants who clear pre-payment checks.
