Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Flooding of Lough Funshinagh: Lough Funshinagh Group

Mr. Tommy Kearney:

No effort, or very little, has been made by anybody on the committee to seek compensation. The people and the committee representing them want to be left alone. They want to solve the problem. There is nobody looking to take the money and run. People want to live in their community, to continue with their traditional farming methods, and to live in the way they were living. We had a very traditional community, as it had been for the past 100 years. Compensation is not a major issue. People want to continue living in peace in their homes and on their farms and with access to their homes. That is the main desire of the people.
