I inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.

I have, however, been advised that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office indicate that an appeal was received in relation to the person-named in March 2022.

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 Director of Agriculture Appeals has recently assigned the appeal to an Appeals Officer for examination. I have been assured that this appeal will be dealt with in due course.
