Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 January 2013
169. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a decision will be made in relation to a derogation appeal lodged by a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2094/13]
View answerWhile the person named appealed to the DAS Appeals Committee, he was among a high percentage of applicants who submitted supporting documentation with their appeals which had not previously been submitted to my Department This necessitated further examination by my Department before the necessity to refer the appeals in question to the Appeals Committee could be confirmed.
In this case, the additional documentation was sufficient to allow the appeal. Accordingly, processing of the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application was recently finalised, and payment will shortly issue to the nominated bank account.
