Written answers

Applications from participants in the 2020 Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) who were deemed eligible to continue their participation in the BDGP 2021 transitional programme could be submitted using the Department’s online facility through www.agfood.ie either by the applicant themselves or by an individual authorised to act on their behalf or by reply to a specific SMS text issued to farmers. 

The opening date for receipt of applications was 15th December 2020 and the closing date for receipt of applications was 15th January 2021. No application was received from the person named during that period.

Following a request submitted as part of an earlier Parliamentary Question (1127/2022) to review the decision to exclude the person named from the 2021 BDGP transitional scheme and  taking account of  new information  submitted by the applicant, the review  has now  been completed and arrangements are being made to allow the person named to participate in the scheme. He has been informed of this decision.
