I wish to inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

I have been advised that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office indicate that an appeal in relation to the Results-based, Agri-Environment Pilot Project (REAP) was received in relation to the person named in September 2021.

The Appeals Office requested the file and a statement on the grounds of appeal from my Department and all relevant documentation have been forwarded to the Appeals Office.

I am advised that the appeal has been assigned by the Director of Agriculture Appeals to an Appeals Officer for examination and determination and the case will be dealt with in due course.
