Amharc ar fhreagraEvents such as a landslide may be classified as force majeure or exceptional circumstances. Where a farmer is concerned that the landslide on Shass Mountain in 2020 may have an impact on his/her continued participation in various farm/forestry schemes in 2021, he/she should contact my Department immediately, if they have not already done so, detailing the circumstances.
Each case will be examined individually. The Department can be contacted on 076 106 4420.
