Amharc ar fhreagraThe Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.
I am advised, however, that the Appeals Office received an appeal on behalf of the person named on 22 October 2019 in relation to the Beef Exceptional Aid Measure Scheme (BEAM). The Appeals Office requested the file and a statement on the grounds of appeal from my Department and all relevant documentation has now been forwarded to the Appeals Office.
I am advised that the appeal is to be assigned to an Appeals Officer and that the Office will be in contact with the appellant shortly to arrange an oral hearing of the appeal.
