Amharc ar fhreagraA penalty was imposed on the person named because he did not submit an amended plan within the permitted time. He appealed the decision but the penalty was upheld by the agriculture appeals office, which is statutorily independent of my Department. The consequences of any actions by a REPS planner are a matter between the farmer concerned and the planner.
