Vol. 441 No. 6

Written Answers. - Compensation for Crop Damage.

Paul Connaughton

Ceist:

121 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to the financial loss incurred by a person (details supplied) in County Galway when his certified seed potato crop failed last year due to unseasonal inclement weather; if this person has been approved for compensation from the special fund; when the final decision will be made on who is getting paid; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has received an application for financial assistance from the person in question and is at present drawing up detailed criteria on eligibility for assistance. When these criteria have been finalised I will make a statement on the matter.
