Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Crop Losses of Donegal Islanders.

15.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is aware of the widespread destruction of crops in Arranmore Island, County Donegal as a result of the recent storm; and, if so, if he will take immediate steps to alleviate the islanders' loss.

According to my information, the damage caused to the potato crop on Arranmore Island by the recent storm was on a limited scale. The growers concerned have been advised by my Department's local officer as to the measures they should take to get damaged plants growing again.
