Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Beef Data and Genomics Programme: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

4:00 pm

Mr. Frank Macken:

The Chair asked a couple of questions about knowledge transfer. That is also under the rural development programme. The issue of participants engaging in two knowledge transfer groups at the same time is being considered as part of our initial amendment to the rural development programme. The intention is that, as part of an amendment, we would request that the Commission allow us to allow participants to be in a beef and a sheep programme at the same time, for example. There will be issues associated with double funding and they will not receive full payment.
