I have had many calls from farmers around the Maugherow and Mullaghmore areas in Sligo. Fences have been damaged with much debris washed up on the land. The main problem is land that was ripped away and will not be able to be replaced by May. I welcome the news that farmers affected will not be penalised between now and May. However, will they be penalised if they have not removed debris from land or have lands that were washed away by the sea when they make their applications on 15 May?
