I assume that the Deputy is referring to the salmon hardship fund, which is being administered by the Loughs Agency of the Foyle Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission. I have no role in operating the scheme or information about individual applications.

I understand however, that the Loughs Agency has paid over €2.6 million, to date, to Donegal fishermen, 50% of which was provided by my Department.
