Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion

Mr. Francie Gorman:

We welcome Deputy Mythen’s comments about the make-up of the board, which is very important. We will work with members to make sure this process gets up and running in the most effective and efficient manner. Timelines are also very important in order that appeals will not be left hanging over farmers' heads. At some stage, there has to be a timeline for when the issue will come to a conclusion. A six-month period is not too much to ask for in the context of the entire process.
