An applicant for grant-aid under the Farm Waste Management Scheme who is unhappy with the terms of a decision taken by my Department should firstly request the local office of my Department to carry out a review of the decision concerned. If, following that review, the applicant is still unhappy with the decision concerned, he/she has the option of lodging an appeal with the Agriculture Appeals Office, subject to compliance with the time-limits and other requirements of the Agriculture Appeals Act 2001.
