The Deputy was previously informed that the Department was conducting a full review of the penalties imposed in this case. The review was carried out by the Regional Inspector on 28 April 2016 and the person named was informed in writing of the outcome of that review on the same date.

The review has resulted in the original penalties imposed being altered. However, no further payments are due to the person named as a result of this decision. The person named has also been advised that it is open to them to appeal this decision to the Agriculture Appeals Office, within 3 months of the date of the letter, if they remain dissatisfied with the outcome of the review.
