Amharc ar fhreagraThe closing date for receipt of applications to the Beef Data and Genomics Programme was extended to 5 June 2015 from the original closing date of 29 May. Applications received on or before this date may be eligible for participation in the Programme.
Officials in my Department are currently validating all applications received by the closing date. This initial validation process will be finalised in the coming days and at this stage I do not know if an application from the person named was received by the closing date. However an official from my Department was in direct contact with the person named last Wednesday and advised him of the extension to the closing date.
