I opened a special tranche especially for those impacted by Storm Éowyn. It was open for two weeks under emergency tranche 7. It closed on 28 March. A total of 1,945 farmers applied, who are being issued with letters now. I announced last week that 100% of those applications were going to be approved and funded. No one was left behind. Everyone who applied under the back-up generators, fencing, mulchers and chippers will be covered.
