Written answers

I the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.

I have however been advised that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office indicate that an appeal was received in relation to the above-named person in October 2021.

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 Director of Agriculture Appeals has assigned the appeal to an Appeals Officer for examination. I am also advised the above named person contacted the Agriculture Appeals Office on 25 February seeking an oral hearing of their appeal. I have been assured that an oral hearing will be organised in due course.
