Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

At present the Department does not have funding allocated or schemes of supports planned for farmers with damage linked to the recent period of poor weather.

In cases where damage to buildings results from storms or weather events,  property insurance is the normal primary avenue for assistance or compensation.
