Question:

235. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if consideration will be given to extending the 31 May 2017 deadline for completion of works and actions under the knowledge transfer group scheme in view of the fact knowledge transfer group facilitators have called for such an extension to cater for the heavy bureaucratic workload required and considering that the online system for submitting paperwork under the knowledge transfer programme is not yet operational, while many other Pillar 1 and 2 scheme deadlines fall in the next two months; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

There are no plans to extend the 31st May deadline for the Knowledge Transfer Programme.

The Knowledge Transfer Farm Improvement Plan online system which will be available shortly records key data and recommendations related to actions completed.  In the meantime Knowledge Transfer Facilitators can complete the actions and prepare the data for entry when the system goes live.
