Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy Nolan for raising the issue. The Minister of State, Senator Hackett, has worked really hard on this for a sustained period of time and I am really pleased we have got to the point of having a scheme to provide financial assistance. It has been a very stressful time for so many farmers and foresters. I know the Deputy welcomes the scheme. If the Deputy wants to write to me about the concerns arising in Limerick and Tipperary, I will ask the Minister of State to engage on it.
