Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2022
886. Deputy Marian Harkin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the expected timeline for a decision on an appeal by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35642/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.
I have, however, been advised that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office indicate that an appeal was received in relation to the person-named in March 2022.
The Appeals Office requested the file and a statement on the grounds of appeal from my Department and all relevant documentation have been forwarded to the Appeals Office.
I am advised that the Director of Agriculture Appeals has recently assigned the appeal to an Appeals Officer for examination. I have been assured that this appeal will be dealt with in due course.
