Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2015
403. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 208 of 19 May 2015, the outcome of an appeal and oral hearing in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Laois. [29025/15]
View answerAn application under the 2014 Grassland Sheep Scheme was received from the person named on 15 May 2014. Payment has not issued to the person named as the holding concerned has not satisfied the Scheme minimum eligibility requirements namely, the submission of the annual Sheep Census form prior to the extended closing date of 14 February 2014. The person named unsuccessfully applied for the late acceptance of the form on the grounds of force majeure. The person named has been advised of the option to submit an appeal to the Agriculture Appeals Office should he so wish. To date no appeal has been received by the Agriculture Appeals Office.
