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 an appeal was received from the named person in October 2020.

The Appeals Office requested the file and a statement on the grounds of appeal from my Department and all relevant documentation have been forwarded to the the Appeals Office.            

I am advised that the appeal will shortly be assigned to an Appeals Officer for examination and I have been assured that the appeal will be dealt with in due course.
