Written answers

The following table details the number of Knowledge Transfer participants by county who had completed and not completed Animal Health Measures on closure of Year 1 of the KT Programme at midnight, Wednesday 22nd August. It should be noted that in addition to these figures approximately 20 AHMs were partially completed. The data provided relates to the five sectors to which the AHMs apply (it is not required for KT Tillage groups).

In addition, some further data has been received which will now be reviewed by Department for further processing – for example, some elements were received by email in cases where the person submitting the data may have experienced submission issues etc.

Taking the Animal Health Measures together with the elements of the Farm Improvement Plan the overall position is that some 18,400 KT Participants have either fully or partially submitted the data submission requirements for Year 1 of KT. These participants will now be subject to the standard administrative and verification checks in order to process them for payment, including verification of having attending the required number of Group meetings etc.
