Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2020
811. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a GLAS appeal submitted to the appeals office in January 2020 by a person (details supplied) will receive a finalised decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34869/20]
View answerI 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 was received from the named person in January 2020.
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 the Appeals Office.
I am advised that the appeal has been assigned to an Appeals Officer for examination and that the Appeals Office has been in contact with the appellant concerning the appeal.
