Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

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

Dr. Shane Whelan:

There needs to be some form of wording in force majeure to cover Mr. Punch's point earlier so that it is not as rigid and consideration can be given to broader issues when making an appeals decision. At present, an appeals decision is based on the terms and conditions or very limited force majeure. We are all singing from the same hymn sheet that there is an issue here.
