Vol. 440 No. 7
224 Mrs. Doyle asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry his criteria for the payment of weather aid for crop damage to the 600 applicants who suffered losses in 1993; the crops which are eligible for this aid; and when payments will be made.
As indicated in my announcement establishing the fund, assistance will be granted to horticulture and potato growers who suffered major or total crop losses due to the abnormal weather in 1993.
Payment will be made in due course following processing of the applications and appropriate verification procedures.
