In February 2013, the Local Action Group (LAG) in question submitted a claim in respect of the project referred to. This claim was selected by my Department’s Inspection Services Section for a pre-payment inspection and was subsequently deemed ineligible on a number of grounds. A formal letter of findings was issued to all parties on 17 April 2013 detailing the findings and advising that an appeal could be made within one month.

The LAG sought a review of the decision and on the 9th October 2013 the District Inspector concluded that the project remained ineligible. Again a formal report detailing the decision was provided to all parties and also advised that a further appeal could be made to the Regional Inspector of the Inspection Services Section within one month. To date no further appeal has been received and therefore this project remains ineligible under the Programme. Although the formal timeline for submitting an appeal has expired I am willing to offer an extension of time up to the end of April 2014 to facilitate the making of an appeal to the Regional Inspector in respect of this project.
