Fodder crisis support

Summary

Healy-Rae links the critical infrastructure legislation to the fodder crisis and seeks EU assistance; the Taoiseach says the fodder scheme is extended for another week and confirms the Electoral Bill is expected this session.

With regard to the critical infrastructure Bill, why does the Government not seek funding from the EU solidarity fund to deal with the fodder crisis we have in Ireland at present?

I do not know whether the Bill will cover this.

The hay being imported is one thing, but the farmers need cash.

The fodder situation has been extended for a further week. I expect the electoral (amendment) Bill will be published in this session.
