View answerThe penalty applied under the 2014 Single Payment Scheme relates to breaches of the Cross Compliance requirements, specifically in relation to nitrates.
My Department will accept the Deputy's question and supporting documentation as a review request on behalf of the person named. No request for review has previously been received by the Department.
This review request will now be examined by officials in my Department and the person named will be notified directly of the outcome as soon as possible. In the event that the person named is dissatisfied with the outcome of this review, the decision can be appealed to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office, within 3 months.
