IFA Deputy President Alice Doyle has called on Minister Martin Heydon to step up and do whatever is necessary to deliver an interim ACRES payment similar to the one made in Spring 2024 as a matter of urgency.
“This payment needs to be made immediately to alleviate the financial pressures on thousands of farmers around the country. The time for talk is over. Farmers have done the work required of them, yet they have not been paid,” she said.
“It’s just not good enough. Farmers entered ACRES in good faith and they need to be paid, and paid now. The DAFM need to honour their end of the bargain and get payments out.
“The interim payment was a necessary intervention this time last year. History has repeated itself and it’s needed again as a matter of priority,” Alice Doyle said.
