The query raised relates to the 2014 Single Payment Scheme application received from the person named. Issues were identified in relation to dual claims on some of the parcels declared resulting in penalties having to be applied.

My Department has recently reviewed the case and upheld the original decision. A letter issued to the person named on 18 October 2016 informing him of the outcome of this review and of his right to appeal the decision to the Agricultural Appeals Office.

As an oral hearing has been requested in this case, the Agriculture Appeals Office will be in direct contact with the person named regarding the scheduling and location of the oral hearing.
