Applications from existing and eligible Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) particpants for the rollover scheme in 2021 were accepted through the Agfood.ie online portal from 15th December to 15th January 2021. No application was submitted by the person named during that period.

On 27th January 2021, an appeal was received by my Department from the person named asking to be included in the programme. A letter denying this appeal issued to the herdowner on 15th February 2021. However in light of the new information provided here, that decision has been re-examined and arrangements to facilitate the participation of this herdowner in the scheme for 2021 are being made.

Officials from my Department will contact the person named shortly to explain the process.
