We have experienced many difficulties during the past year, in particular, with payments, as a result of the Department's information technology systems. Examples include problems with GLAS, TAMS and the knowledge transfer scheme. There have been numerous problems. The response we receive all the time is that the problem is with the IT system and that there is little officials can do about it. I hope the Minister of State can tell me what the Department is trying to do to try to solve the problem which has had a detrimental effect on farmers.
