I wish to inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.
I have been advised that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office indicate that an appeal was received in relation to the person named in September 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 Appeals Office.
I am advised that the Appeals Office has been in contact with the person named and their representative with regard to the holding of an Oral Hearing and the appeal has been assigned by the Director to an Appeals Officer for examination and determination. I understand that an Oral Hearing in relation to the appeal will be organised as soon as possible as the person named has confirmed that they wish to have a hearing.
