Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
2564. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if an appeal relating to the GLAS scheme in the name of persons (details supplied) has been concluded; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20690/21]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.
I have been informed that a decision issued by the Appeals Officer dealing with this appeal and, following the issuing of this decision, there was a request for a review of the Appeals Officer’s decision received from the appellant in February 2020.
Reviews of decisions of Appeals Officers can only be undertaken by the Director of the Appeals Office in accordance with the Agriculture Appeals Act 2001. I understand that a decision in this case will be issued in the coming days.
