Farmers across the West are under severe financial pressure due to delays in processing payments under the GLAS and AEOS agri-environment schemes.
That’s according to Fianna Fáil TD Eamon O Cuiv who has says over 10,000 farmers nationwide are awaiting for full payment of the GLAS scheme.
He argues up to €40 million in payments have been delayed in recent months.
Deputy O Cuiv says farmers’ budgeting has been thrown into disarray as a result.
He called on Agriculture Minister Michael Creed to expedite the payments to ensure cashflow problems can be addressed.
