The numbers of farmers that received payments from my Department to Ulster Bank accounts during 2020, 2021 and 2022 to date were as follows:

Year Number of Farmers
2020 17,803
2021 17,138
2022 to date 12,718

Around 6,000 of the farmers who have received payments to Ulster Bank accounts during 2022 to date have not yet provided details of a new account for receipt of their payments. My Department has been engaging with affected farmers since March 2022.
