Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2018
689. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a farm payment appeal by a person (details supplied) will be expedited; the status of same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11841/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named submitted an application for consideration under the 2017 Basic Payment Scheme on 14 June 2017. As the BPS application was received after the 9th of June, the latest date for the receipt of late applications in 2017, it incurred a 100% late penalty and therefore no BPS payment is payable.
The person named subsequently appealed this decision and a letter regarding the outcome of his appeal issued directly to the person named on 8 March 2018. The appeal was not accepted and the person named was advised of his right of appeal to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office.
