In response to the flooding in December 2015 and January 2016, my Department put in place a range of supports for farmers in the areas most affected. As part of this response, a fund of up to €2 million was allocated to cover the associated expenditure for interventions such as the Emergency Flood Relief Measure, the Fodder Aid Scheme and the Emergency Animal Welfare support. From this allocation, €97,909 was paid to applicants under the Emergency Flood Relief Scheme.
