Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 March 2021
1035. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a decision has been made on an appeal for an ANC payment for 2018, 2019 and 2020 by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11115/21]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.
I have been informed that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office indicate that an appeal was received from the person named in November 2020. The Appeals Office requested the file and a statement on the grounds of appeal from my Department in December 2020.
I am advised that once the file and statement have been received by the Appeals Office the appeal will be assigned to an Appeals Officer for examination and I have been assured that the appeal will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
