I wish to inform the Deputy that the statutory agriculture appeals facility operates independently of my Department.
I have been informed that the Agriculture Appeals Office received an appeal from the person named on 11th August 2023. I am also informed the Agriculture Appeals Office requested the Department’s statement on the grounds of appeal and the related documents and received same on the 14th September 2023. The appeal has now been assigned to an Appeals Officer. I understand the Appeals Officer has been in contact with the farmer and will ensure arrangements are put in place for the oral hearing that is requested as soon as possible.
