Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2018
787. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the GLAS section will accept a review of the decision to exclude a person (details supplied) from the GLAS scheme on medical grounds; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45593/18]
View answerThe person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016. Full payments were made for scheme year 2016. Participation in GLAS requires that all actions committed to are undertaken in line with the scheme requirements. In this case the requirements for the Low Emission Slurry Spreading action (LESS) were not adhered to and the GLAS contract was rejected from the scheme.
This decision has been reviewed by the Department and the original decision upheld. The person named has been informed of their right to appeal this decision to the Agriculture Appeals Office.
