The person named registered fifty animals under the 2013 Beef Data Programme. Under the Terms and Conditions of this Programme, applicants were obliged to submit the required data within the prescribed time frames. The person named was issued with four forms for completion on 27 September 2013, 19 March 2014, 25 May 2014 and 8 June 2014 but none of the forms were returned to my Department within the required deadlines. Therefore, the person named was not eligible for payment under the Programme. My Department has been in direct contact with the person named. The person named has indicated that he will submit an appeal. Upon receipt of the appeal a review will be carried out on the case and the applicant will be informed in writing of the outcome.
