Vol. 495 No. 7
343 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will verify that there are some areas in County Mayo, that is, Garrymore, Ballindine and Crossboyne, which will not receive any assistance from the £10 million package aid scheme announced recently for farmers who have suffered losses due to adverse weather. [21820/98]
344 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason farmers in some areas in County Mayo are being excluded from assistance or compensation from the £10 million aid package announced for farmers by the Government recently. [21821/98]
345 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason some farming areas in County Mayo are being exclusively denied assistance under the £10 million farmers aid package scheme in view of the fact that all farmers have suffered losses throughout the county due to adverse and inclement weather. [21822/98]
346 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the areas which are not included for compensation under the new £10 million farmers aid package. [21823/98]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 343, 344, 345 and 346 together.
The fodder scheme is directed at all sheep farmers with mountain grazings and suckler cow producers and small dairy farmers with milk quotas of less than 35,000 gallons in district electoral divisions in the worst affected areas based on a Teagasc survey published in September. Ninety-six per cent of the district electoral divisions of County Mayo are included in the scheme. They are listed in the following annex. Furthermore all sheep farmers with mountain grazings as per the sheep headage scheme will qualify for the fodder scheme. The same general procedures were applied to selecting the worst affected areas in all counties. The counties included are Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo and the areas included were based on a Teagasc survey.
