Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 February 2016
253. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an application by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry under the young farmers scheme and the national reserve scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4430/16]
View answerThe person named submitted applications under the 2015 National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. On three separate occasions officials from my Department have written to the person named requesting submission of outstanding documentation required to finalise the applications. To date my Department has received no response. On this basis the person named does not meet the eligibility criteria under the National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme as the necessary supporting documentation has not been submitted. A letter has issued to the person named informing him of the decision in relation to this application and offering the opportunity to appeal this decision.
