Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 March 2016
183. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an appeal by persons (details supplied) in County Cavan under the 2015 national reserve fund; if he is aware that notice of refusal was only received in February 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4966/16]
View answerThe persons named submitted an application under the ‘young farmer’ category of the 2015 National Reserve with the second person named as the ‘young farmer’. This application was not successful as the applicant exceeded the off-farm income limit required for acceptance under the scheme. The applicant was notified of this decision and was offered the opportunity to submit an appeal.
My Department has now received an appeal from the person named in relation to their National Reserve application. This appeal will be considered by my Department based on the information set out by the applicant and a decision with regard to the outcome of the appeal will be notified in writing to the applicant as soon as possible.
