Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 April 2014
646. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding an appeal regarding the stocking density under the disadvantaged area scheme in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; when is a decision is likely to issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18580/14]
View answerThe person named is one of a number of applicants under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, whose cases were impacted upon by the requirement to have achieved a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare in 2011, and who applied for and was not granted a derogation in this regard; the person named was informed accordingly, in writing, by letter dated 12 November 2012. However, I have arranged for an official of my Department to contact the person named directly regarding the matter.
