An application under 2014 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 15 April 2014. The person named did not meet the eligibility requirement of the Scheme as per the Terms and Conditions and the governing EU Regulation 21/2004, where all flock owners are obliged to count all sheep and goats in their flock on a specific date each year and return details of same via the Annual Sheep Census Form to my Department by a specified closing date each year. The person named was informed of this position in writing on 3 March 2015 and advised of his right to seek a review to the Independent Agricultural Office. The person named has since availed of this option and the file has been sent to that Office for review. The Independent Agricultural Appeals Office will be in contact with person named directly on this matter.
