Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The delay in this case relates to a dual claim on a parcel of land bordering a commonage. An appeal was received from the person named regarding a reduction in the eligible payment area. The file has recently been returned to the Agriculture Appeals Office and that office is in the process of arranging an oral hearing.
