Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 January 2017
542. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 415 of 6 December 2016, the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2898/17]
View answerThe person named made an application for the Afforestation Grant and Premium Scheme, which was unsuccessful.
The applicant appealed this decision; however the original decision was upheld. The applicant was notified of the outcome of the appeal on 22nd December 2016. As the site is very exposed it was determined that it would not be capable of producing a commercial crop and would not, therefore, meet the requirements of the Afforestation Scheme.
