The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, today announced further detail on the interim payment to participants in Tranche 1 of the Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme (ACRES) who have not yet received their advance payments for participation in the Scheme.
The Minister said:
“Further to my announcement of last Friday 9 February of an interim payment for ACRES participants, I can confirm that the rate of this interim payment will be €4,000 for those in ACRES general and €5,000 for those in ACRES Co-operation Project.”
The Minister continued:
“I very much appreciate the importance of this payment to farmers, and I am fully committed to rewarding farmers for their environmental ambition. My intention is to have this interim payment delivered to those farmers affected across ACRES General and Co-operation by the end of this month.”
Concluding, the Minister said:
“The ACRES payments will take into account the interim payments already made to the relevant participants and will issue in June for ACRES Tranche 1 participants. In the intervening period, my officials will continue with the payment process as a key priority.”
