This appeal was received in the Agriculture Appeals Office on 23rd August 2006, assigned to an Appeals Officer on 15th September 2006 and the Appeals Officer issued a decision on 20th October 2006 to disallow the appeal. The decision of the Appeals Officer is final and conclusive, except in the following circumstances,

An Appeals Officer may change a decision where there is new evidence, new facts or a relevant change in circumstances. The Appeals Officer considers that no new evidence has been provided that would warrant a change in the decision.

The Director of Agriculture Appeals may revise a decision where there has been a mistake made in relation to the law or the facts of the case. The Director has reviewed the file and is satisfied that there are no grounds for revising the decision of the Appeals Officer.

If the appellant feels he has been unfairly treated by this office he may contact the Office Of the Ombudsman, 18 Lower Leeson Street, Dublin 2.

A case may be appealed to the High Court on a point of law.
