I will refer the Deputy to Dáil question No. 120 of 27^thSeptember, which may be found here: www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/question/2023-09-27/120/#pq_120

As highlighted, ACRES participants undergo a suite of checks and validations, to ensure their continued eligibility for the Scheme and entitlement to receive payment. Officials are currently working on those checks and validations for all ACRES participants, with a view to commencing payment in the coming weeks. I will note that if at first participants do not pass these checks, officials will follow up and further investigate as required, with a view to clearing all validations and moving such cases forward for payment.
