I understand from the Loughs Agency of the Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission, who are administering the salmon hardship scheme in the Foyle, that there were a total of 156 applications for compensation under the scheme. To date, 128 claimants have received payment while 7 applications are still being processed. The remaining 21 applications were deemed ineligible.
