The deadline for spreading slurry closed on 15 October. In emergency circumstances, the Department is in a position to accommodate farmers who make contact with the Department through its emergency procedures, which are shown on its website. The question of an extension is not one for my Department but one for the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment. We can deal with cases on an individual basis.
