Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department is willing to defer the oral hearing in an appeal case (details supplied) relating to the failure in one year to register with the CPBS in order to allow the society an opportunity to amend its rules to allow for paying late memberships outstanding to the society; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I wish to inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.

I have been advised, however, that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office indicate that a GLAS appeal has been received from the person named.

I am also advised that the Agriculture Appeals Office has recently been in contact with the person named and has agreed to defer the oral hearing on this appeal.
