I am not aware of any cases in which the findings of the Director of the Agriculture Appeals Office have been set aside by my Department.

However, I have requested that a full review of the case files be undertaken by my Department of the outcomes of these cases, so that a definitive response may be forwarded to the Deputy in due course.
