Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Delays in Departmental Scheme Payments: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Savage:

My recollection is that this year's allocation was approximately €30 million higher than last year's.

The allocation for ACRES in 2025 is higher than 2024 but we will need more money towards the end of the year in order to be able to pay all participants in the scheme. This will be done in the course of the normal practice of managing our budget over the course of the year, identifying savings and prioritising putting those savings into ACRES funding.
