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

I have been informed that the Agriculture Appeals Office received an appeal from the person named on 1^stApril 2022 and an oral hearing was conducted by the Appeals Officer on 2^ndSeptember 2022.

I understand the Appeals Officer has recently been in correspondence with the parties to the appeal and is awaiting replies in order to progress the matter.

I have been assured that once all relevant documentation is received, the appeal will be processed without delay.
