Summary
Deputy Kehoe sought clarity on support for farmers whose cereals were destroyed by flooding in south Wexford. The Taoiseach said he would discuss the matter with the Agriculture Minister, who was actively considering it.
The Taoiseach will be very much aware of the devastating flooding in County Wexford on 25 December last. In south County Wexford, hundreds of acres of cereals were destroyed. At the time, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine committed to look into this issue and seek the names of the farmers and lands involved. To date, absolutely nothing has happened. There has been a wall of silence from the Minister and the Department. Can the Taoiseach bring some clarification to this issue?
