The application in question was in relation to investments under the Young Farmer Capital Investment Scheme of TAMS II.

This application was the subject of an on-farm inspection. It is a requirement that the payments claimed be verified as part of such an inspection. In this case an issue arose in relation to non-compliance with the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme resulting in the withholding of the Young Farmer 20% top up payment.

The applicant was advised of the position in a letter from the Department dated 23 October 2018 and requested a review of this decision. An appeal was submitted to the Agriculture Appeals Office and it is understood that an oral hearing was requested and will be arranged shortly.
