Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The 2015 ground eligibility inspection file in respect of the Herd No. detailed has issued to the Agriculture Appeals Office and my Department understands that the file is currently being examined by that office.

The Agriculture Appeals Office will notify the applicant of the outcome on completion of the appeals process.
