Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
249. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of applications by a person (details supplied) in County Limerick under the young farmers scheme and the national reserve scheme; when he will make a decision on these applications; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5353/16]
View answerAn application under the ‘young farmer’ category of the 2015 National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme has been received by my Department under the herd number shown but not by the person named who is the only name registered on this herd number. The person named does not meet the eligibility criteria under either the National Reserve or Young Farmers scheme and the applications were deemed to be unsuccessful. The person named was notified of this decision and was offered the opportunity to submit an appeal. To date no appeal has been received by my Department.
