North west farmers face ACRES payment delays

It's feared that many farmers across, Sligo, Leitirm and Donegal are facing an uncertain future due to a major delay with ACRES payments.

A number of farmers inspected and cleared as part of the ACRES environmental scheme, are still waiting for payment two years on.

They've been told the problem's being caused by a glitch on the IT system which can't tell if a farmer is clear or has a penalty.

Independent Ireland TD Michael Fitzmaurice, says farmers signed up to the schemes in good faith, but they've been abandoned by the Government.
