Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named submitted an appeal in respect of land declared on his Single Payment Scheme which following a review by the Department was found to have contained ineligible features. This case was one of a number selected for ground verification checks. The file is currently with the Inspectorate and a reply will issue to the applicant outlining the results of the review as soon as the file is received in this division.
