Environmental Policy

Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)
I thank the Minister of State for addressing this important issue. He has indicated the Department does not intend to offer compensation to landowners affected by the recent fires. I welcome his earlier comment that if the farming community provides information on the damage caused, the Department may consider establishing a scheme provided funding becomes available. Is that an accurate reflection of the position?
