589. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a force majeure appeal on a GLAS 2 contract will be accepted in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11853/20]
View answerA request to withdraw two LPIS parcels from the GLAS contract under the provisions of force majeure was received from the person named on 9 June 2020. The position outlined in the request was deemed not to meet the requirements under the provisions of force majeure as set out in the terms and conditions of the scheme.
In this case, as the parcels withdrawn include the applicant’s only tier 1 action, it has resulted in the rejection of the GLAS application. A letter issued to the person named on 15 June 2020 advising them of the position. They were also advised of the option of appealing this decision to the Agriculture Appeals Office.
