Amharc ar fhreagraAs you may be aware my Department is currently examining land parcels declared under the Single Payment Scheme and other area-based Direct Payment Schemes. As part of this review an ineligible area was identified and removed from a parcel declared by the person named. The person named was notified of this decision and of his right of appeal. Following an appeal from the person named my Department has carried out a review and has rejected the appeal submitted by the person named. The person named has been written to in this regard and advised of his further right to appeal to the independently-chaired LPIS Appeals Committee.
