712. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied) in relation to the sheep technology adoption programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23519/16]
View answerIn order to qualify for payment under the 2015 Sheep Technology Adoption Programme (STAP) participants were required to both attend five meetings and satisfactorily complete two tasks. While the person named attended the required meetings, the required tasks were not completed. The person named was notified on 14 January 2016 that as he had not satisfactorily completed the two tasks payment is not due. He was also notified of the option to appeal this decision. To date an appeal has not been received in my Department.
