My Department officials have advised me that there is no record of an application being submitted in 2022 for Tranche 1 of the Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme (ACRES) for the person named.
I can confirm that an ACRES General application was submitted on behalf of the person named on the 10th of December 2023 for Tranche 2 of the scheme.
Tranche 2 participants have a contract commencement date of 1st January 2024. Details of this are outlined in the approval letter which is now available to view on Agfood and a copy of this letter will also issue to the person named by post shortly.
ACRES advance payments for Tranche 2 participants are anticipated to commence in quarter 4 2024.
