Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 October 2023
300. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a reply will issue to correspondence received (details supplied); the reason a reply has not issued to date; if this delay to respond is in breach of Departmental protocols and if this correspondence was discussed at the level of Secretary General of his Department. [43248/23]
View answerThe above person is claiming land in an area known as Keelderry Commonage. In 2010 this land was subject to inspection, the findings of which resulted in a reduction in the number of eligible hectares available to all those claiming Keelderry commonage, resulting in a reduced payment under the Single Payment Scheme.
The correspondence we refer to is currently being examined by my Department. The person concerned received a phone call on Monday 0 2 October 23 to update him on the position.
