Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 June 2012
771 Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a matter will be expedited regarding an organic farming application (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27291/12]
View answerThe person named submitted an application for the Organic Framing Scheme on 16 May 2012. During the initial processing of the application discrepancies were discovered regarding the status of land parcels listed on the application form. These discrepancies have now been rectified. However, a further query has arisen in relation to the issue of the organic licence which is a condition of participation in the scheme. The Department is awaiting confirmation from the Organic Control Body, with whom the person named is registered, that his organic licence is now in order. Once resolved, the application of the person named will be processed without further delay.
