View answerPayments under the Knowledge Transfer Programme have commenced on a rolling basis by sector. The person named is a participant in the Knowledge Transfer Beef Programme and payments have commenced in respect of farmers in this sector who have completed all the requirements of Year 1. In a small number of cases, including this case, an issue has arisen in relation to processing the payment to the relevant bank account. This is currently being rectified, and it is expected that payment will issue shortly. In line with EU regulatory requirements, payment under this scheme will issue to the person named via their Knowledge Transfer Group Facilitator.
