I wish to inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.
I have been advised that, following conversation with the legal representatives of the person-named, the Director of Agriculture Appeals has assigned the matter to an Appeals Officer for review.
The Agriculture Appeals Office will be in contact with the person-named in due course to progress the matter.

The persons named were approved to GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1stOctober 2015.
Processing of the 2021 Advance Payment for the persons named are at an advanced stage and I expect the payment in this case to be finalised shortly. GLAS payments are continuing on a weekly basis as applications pass all validation checks and are approved for payment.
