Advanced BISS and CRISS payments are being pushed back from Friday to October 27th.
The Irish Farmers’ Association is describing the 600 million euro farm payments delays as a "bombshell for farm families".
The Department of Agriculture has announced that advance BISS and CRISS payments, originally due this Friday, are now expected to begin on October 27th.
The public sector industrial dispute taking place across the country today is being cited as the reason for the payment delays.
Joe Daly, Offaly County Chairperson for the IFA says the delay is out of order:
