Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 February 2016
248. Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to review an application for a forestry grant and to contact the person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4337/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe application by the person named for payment under the Afforestation Grant and Premium Scheme was refused following an inspection that revealed that shell marl permeates throughout the planted area, which makes it unsuitable for planting and ineligible under the Scheme. The person named was notified of this decision on 28 January 2014 and of her right of appeal against it, if dissatisfied. To date, no such appeal has been received by my Department.
The person named contacted the Department recently and copies of documents she requested were made available to her.
