Under the Pullathomas landslide damage relief scheme, my Department assisted those farmers affected by the landslide in that area of County Mayo. Some 85 applications were received under the scheme, of which 68 were considered to be eligible for funding. Each affected farm was surveyed by officials of my Department and the cost of the work required to offset the damage caused by the landslide was assessed. A 50% grant rate was fixed by my Department which resulted in payments totalling €99,640. These payments were made in recent days.
