I am advised that all applicants under the Salmon Hardship Scheme, operated by the Loughs Agency, who have fulfilled the requisite conditions will receive payments now that State Aid approval has, I understand, been intimated by the European Commission. When lodging the application for approval, a meeting with officials was offered by my Department to the Commission in order to facilitate the adjudication process but, in the event, not taken up.
