Farmers threatened with bank action

Summary

O’Keeffe said farmers who had expected grants faced bank action and asked the Minister to consider their position sympathetically.

Mr. O'Keeffe

Is the Minister aware that many farmers had budgeted under the impression that the grants would be paid and some are now under threat of eviction by the banks? These farmers have not been made aware whether approvals have been granted and the banks are also unaware of this and during the shortfall they are putting in the boot. Would the Minister have a sympathetic look at the position of those farmers?
