The person named submitted an application for the 2013 Beef Data Programme which was received in this Department on 14 June 2013. The closing date for this Scheme was 15 May 2013. Late applications were accepted up to 9 June 2013 with a 1% penalty per working day that the application was received after the closing date of the Scheme. As the application in question was not received until 14 June 2013 it was deemed inadmissible. A letter to this effect issued to the person named on 08 July 2013 giving him recourse to appeal the decision to the Agriculture Appeals Unit within 3 months of the date of the decision letter. An appeal has been submitted to the Agriculture Appeals Office from the person named but as yet no decision has been made.
