Some 280,000 farmers are still awaiting their agri-climate rural environment scheme, ACRES, payments. In counties such as Donegal and Cork, more than 3,500 are waiting while in Wicklow it is approximately 350. This is an important funding source for farmers to assist them to transition to more nature-friendly farming models. When will those payments be made? When will every farmer have his or her payment available to him or her?
