Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 March 2020
941. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a decision has been made on a BEAM scheme appeal by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2963/20]
View answerThe Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.
I have been advised, however, that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office indicate that the person named lodged an appeal on 2nd December 2019 in relation to the Beef Exceptional Aid Measure Scheme (BEAM).
The Appeals Office requested the file and a statement on the grounds of appeal from my Department and all relevant documentation has been forwarded to the Appeals Office.
I understand that the appeal has now been assigned to an Appeals Officer and that the Office will be in contact with the appellant shortly to arrange an oral hearing of the appeal.
