Deputy Kenny spoke about the ACRES budget. I know farmers got in on it and that is welcome. In fairness to the staff in Portlaoise they handled the BPS, CRISS, BISS, ANC, sheep welfare and the whole shebang. How come they are able to get all payments out perfectly but then in Wexford there are forestry schemes and ACRES and it seems to be the greatest nightmare that ever was. How come that is the case? Since I came into the Dáil, this seems to be a trend.
