Farm Retirement Scheme.
1:00 pm
Michael Creed (Cork North West, Fine Gael)
I am disappointed with the Minister's response because I referred to a handful of applicants where there is clear evidence of a delay in probate or the Revenue stamping deeds and leases.
Has the Minister received any legal advice on the vulnerability of the Department to a legal challenge following the suspension of the scheme? It would appear that the principle of legitimate expectation would apply and the Department has been at the receiving end of a judgment in that respect previously.
