Bank details delay may slow payments
Failure to supply the details may result in delay of payments, such as the €250m of Disadvantaged Area cheques going to more than 100,000 farmers, and the €600m of advance single farm payments due from October 16. After this date payments can only be made via electronic funds transfer to a farmer’s account.
Farmers were urged to reply quickly to any correspondence from the Department on Disadvantaged Area cheques. If they have not yet received payment, they could call one of the lo-call numbers listed on the www.agriculture.gov.ie website.
