Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 November 2023
464. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if there are any schemes that are, or may become, available to farmers where damage to farms other than buildings has occurred as a result of recent flooding; and if he can engage with the particular farmers organisation (details supplied) with respect to difficulties experienced by farmers following flooding events. [52537/23]
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.
