369. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a 2023 balancing ACRES payment will issue to a farmer in County Kerry (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38980/24]

An application was received in the name of this herd owner for the Co-Operation stream of ACRES Tranche 1.

An interim payment issued to the person named in February, and the final 2023 ACRES payment has been calculated.

As the ACRES payment has been calculated to be less than the interim payment a recoupment has been applied. My Department has contacted the participant advising on the amount due and on the repayment options available.
