asked the Minister for Fisheries if he will prevent water from Forestry property flooding a farm of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if compensation will be paid for animals lost as a result of such flooding.
Written Answers. - County Cork Flooding.
492.
The Forest and Wildlife Service of my Department developed its property in the area referred to by the Deputy without diverting water from its natural course. Consequently it is not agreed that the alleged flooding was caused by this Department. The payment of compensation for any animals lost does not, therefore, arise.
