The person named applied for participation under the Beef Data and Genomics Programme on 28 May 2015. An approval letter issued to the person named on 21 August allocating a reference number of 11 animals and representing a Maximum Payable Area (MEA) of 7.33 hectares.

If the person named wishes to appeal the basis of calculation of the MEA he should do so in writing, including any relevant supporting documentary evidence, to the Beef Schemes Section, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Old Abbeyleix Road, Portloaise. Upon receipt of an appeal officials in my Department will review the case further.
