There are 32 herdowners in Kerry currently awaiting GLAS payments and 1,085 Kerry herdowners awaiting ACRES payments.

An ACRES payment run issued last week and a GLAS payment run is scheduled to issue this week. Further payment runs for both schemes will continue to issue as cases pass all required validation checks.

I can assure you that everything is being done to pay, as soon as possible, all ACRES and GLAS participants who clear pre-payment checks.
