Question:

349. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 16 of 25 November 2015, if the review he authorised at the request of the European Union petitions committee was a fresh and independent inspection as requested by that committee; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46855/15]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I replied in-depth to this issue on 25 November 2015 in the Houses in response to Parliamentary Question 16. I will again confirm that I am satisfied that the review which was carried out by the statutorily independent Agriculture Appeals Office was fair, in-depth and comprehensive.
