406. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if there will be any funding available for agricultural related flooding (details supplied); the supports that are in place; if the emergency flood relief scheme can be accessed in such circumstances; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAt present there are no plans for my Department to put in place a scheme for farmers affected by the recent flooding in County Louth.
The Emergency Flood Relief Scheme is operated by the Irish Red Cross on behalf of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. Details of the scheme may be obtained from the Irish Red Cross website, www.redcross.ie/flood-support-scheme/ and any questions regarding the scheme should be directed to them.
